User Reviews for Brilinta (ticagrelor)

I had to cut this pill in half to be able to take it. When I take a whole one I have trouble breathing.

Constant vomiting. I never know when I will have to throw up. It hits me out of the blue w one minute I'm fine and the next I am racing to find a restroom.

I have been on this med for 1 month with some unpleasant side effects. I have had severe shortness of breath, painful rash on chest and stomach, headaches and unsteadiness. I must take Brilinta for 1 year. I don't feel like doing anything. My Dr.'s insist that this is the best blood thinner out there.

Shortness of breath after minor activity or even no activity at night oe early in morning.

confusion,anxiety,lack of motivation,inability to concentrate fatigue all increasing as i stayed on the Rx, started taking after allergic reaction to plavax. taking these meds following cardiovascular angioplasty ballon stent procedure

Unfortunately, only one dosage size of Brilinta has been made available - So I am taking the same dosage as a male patient who weighs 250. I am a female patient, 75 who weighs 140 lbs. Too much medicine - too many side effeccts.

have been on brilinta for approx 12 months after having stents put in no problems touch wood

I find that I now have a dry cough. Also I bleed more.

MI - Had medicated stent inserted in older stent, started Brilinta 90mg 2/day in CCU; exteme shortness of breath, headache, could not sleep. could not do moderate activity. Could not tolorate. Back on Plavix.

I have been on Brilinta for a bout 4 days I a m still having some chest pain, my blood pressure is 1o6/68.

Could not take shortness of breath and hives. Dr. gave me another stress test to see if stents were working they are fine but had to pay for another high cost stress test. Dr. changed me to Effient seems to be working.

I have been using this drug for two weeks now and I have found that i have periods of shortness of breath. It only last for a few seconds, but is quite uncomfortable.

This med worked fine for 40 days. On 40th day, I started passing blood and clots in my urine ans within 8 hours I could not urinate due to clots in my bladder. I got cleaned out in hospital ER. Plavix does not work for me and I am allegic to Effient, so Brilina is my only choice, and I am back on it cautiously watching fo more bldiong.

Had a stent put in on February, 2012 and was put on this medication with others. Developed a rash but not sure from which of the meds. No side effects other than rash, seems to be working

Taken over three months following four stents and open heart surgery (mitral valve rapair and replacement). Brilinta: 90 mg twice a day. Uncertain if Brilinta is the cause, but after one month dizzyness started when standing up or going up stairs(about every third time, same with stairs), acute shortness of (acute gasping for)breath climbing stairs. Subsequent ulmonary and other cardiac tests show nothing wrong with stents or mitral repair; Brilinta is only difference in medications from previously. Dizzyness is reaching point where I am unstable walking and must hold onto something stable or fear of falling.Read More Read Less

I have rash and one that is inflammed on the calf of my leg. But I have to take it in order to keep the stent opened.

I have been on this medication since January 2012 and have not experienced any uncomfortable side effects. I am tolerating it very well.

I had two coronary stents put in the right decending artery of my heart in December. I had had a plain metal stent installed 15 years before and my physician seemed to be in favor of using medicated stents this time. Medicated stents require "seasoning" and Brilinta was chosen as the drug. I have bruised easily and am having some nose bleeds after 5 months. Would like to really know if I can quite after 6 months or have to endure these disruptive side effects for 12 months. I am 68 and this is one more pill, twice a day. The side effects are somewhat disruptive and I dislike having to adjust to them. If I had it to do again, I would get plain metal stents and avoid this hassle. 15 years is probably long enough for them to last at my age.Read More Read Less
