Ticastro-AS Combikit (14 + 7 Tablet)

Ticastro-AS Combikit belongs to the class of antiplatelet drugs used to prevent heart attack and stroke. A heart attack is a critical medical emergency in which the blood supply to the heart is interrupted or blocked, typically by a blood clot. Signs of a heart attack include chest discomfort or pain, pain in other parts of the body, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue and anxiety.

Ticastro-AS Combikit is a combination of two blood thinners: aspirin and ticagrelor. Ticastro-AS Combikit prevents platelets from adhering together, reducing the formation of harmful blood clots. This decreases the likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke.

Ticastro-AS Combikit should be taken after a meal or as directed by the physician. The common side effects of Ticastro-AS Combikit include mild indigestion, nausea, headache, dizziness, and joint pain. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to ticagrelor or aspirin, have kidney/liver impairment, or have bleeding problems. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are a nursing mother. Do not quit taking Ticastro-AS Combikit on your own without consulting a doctor. Stopping Ticastro-AS Combikit may aggravate your condition and raise the risk of having a further heart attack. Ticastro-AS Combikit may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert.
