About Ticabid 60 Tablet

Ticabid 60 Tablet belongs to the antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners) primarily taken to prevent heart attack or stroke in people at high risk of heart disease. Ticabid 60 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.

A heart attack signs include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue, and trouble breathing.
