Acora Tablet 90 mg contains Ticagrelor, a potent antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or a history of myocardial infarction. Ticagrelor works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, which reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events.

Acora is particularly effective for patients with unstable angina, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), or ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Unlike some older antiplatelet agents, Ticagrelor provides rapid and reversible platelet inhibition, allowing for flexible management in high-risk cardiovascular patients.

Indications

Acora Tablet 90 mg is indicated for:

• Prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
• Reduction of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke in patients with a history of heart attack
• Management of unstable angina or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)

Mechanism of Action

Ticagrelor is a reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist that:

• Blocks the ADP-mediated activation of platelets
• Prevents platelet aggregation, reducing the formation of harmful blood clots
• Provides rapid onset of action and reversible inhibition, allowing controlled antiplatelet effects

This mechanism helps maintain blood flow in coronary arteries, lowering the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended dose for adults: 90 mg twice daily, taken orally
• Usually prescribed in combination with low-dose aspirin (75–100 mg daily) unless contraindicated
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew
• Continue therapy as prescribed even if symptoms improve to prevent cardiovascular complications
• Dosage adjustments may be necessary for patients with severe liver impairment or those at high risk of bleeding

Side Effects

Common side effects:

• Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
• Mild bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bruising, or gum bleeding
• Headache or dizziness

Serious but rare side effects:

• Major bleeding events (gastrointestinal or intracranial hemorrhage)
• Severe allergic reactions
• Heart rhythm disturbances (rare)

Seek immediate medical attention if severe bleeding or allergic reactions occur.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use with caution in patients with active bleeding, history of hemorrhagic stroke, or severe liver impairment
• Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors or inducers, which may alter Ticagrelor levels
• Inform your doctor before surgery or invasive procedures due to bleeding risk
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless clearly needed
• Patients should report unusual bruising, prolonged bleeding, or black stools
