Frilinta Tablet contains Ticagrelor 90 mg, an oral antiplatelet medicine used to prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and other cardiovascular conditions. It helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death by preventing platelets from sticking together and forming clots in blood vessels.
Ticagrelor provides rapid and reversible platelet inhibition and is commonly used alongside low-dose aspirin under cardiology supervision.
