Ticlogard 250mg Tablet

Ticlogard 250mg Tablet is an antiplatelet medicine or a blood thinner, which works by reducing the formation of harmful blood clots in blood vessels and thereby helps to prevent a stroke. It may also be prescribed along with aspirin to people who have undergone angioplasty (stent placement in blocked blood vessels of the heart). This helps to prevent blockage of a stent by blood clots.

It should be taken with food, preferably at the same time each day. It is important to keep taking this medicine regularly even if you feel well. If you stop taking this medicine, it may increase your chance of having a stroke.
