About Tackel Tablet

Tackel Tablet belongs to the antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners) primarily taken to prevent heart attack or stroke in people at high risk of heart disease. Tackel Tablet  helps to prevent blood clots in people with acute coronary syndrome (heart doesn't receive enough oxygen) who have had stents placed in blood vessels in their heart. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is often an accumulation of cholesterol, fat, and other substances, which form plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). A heart attack signs include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue, and trouble breathing.

Tackel Tablet contains Ticagrelor, which is a blood thinner that prevents clot formation in the blood vessels. Platelets are blood cells that stick together and block any cuts and breaks in blood vessels. But platelets can stick together inside already narrowed blood vessels to form a clot in people at risk of heart attack or stroke. The clot can stop blood from flowing to the heart or brain and cause a heart attack or stroke. Here, Tackel Tablet slows the blood's clotting action by making platelets less sticky.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take Tackel Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dyspnea (shortness of breath), tightness in the chest, blurred vision, nosebleeds, dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness. If side effects are persistent, talk to your doctor. Tackel Tablet may cause you to bleed more easily. You should not take Tackel Tablet if you have bleeding in your brain, a problem with blood flow, or any other bleeding risk factor.
