Brigrel Tablet contains ticagrelor (90 mg), which impacts your body in the following ways:

• Blocks P2Y12 Receptor: Ticagrelor works by blocking the P2Y12 receptor located on platelets in your blood. This action interrupts the ability of platelets to stick together.

• Reduces Blood Clot Formation: By blocking the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, ticagrelor effectively reduces the formation of blood clots that could potentially obstruct blood vessels.

• Enhances Blood Flow: By inhibiting clot formation, ticagrelor contributes to more fluid flow of blood through the vessels, thus reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events like a heart attack or stroke.
