Axcer 90 mg (Ticagrelor)
Axcer 90 mg contains ticagrelor, a potent oral antiplatelet medicine used to prevent clot formation in patients who have had a heart attack, unstable angina, or who have undergone coronary stent placement (PCI). Ticagrelor is typically used along with low-dose aspirin as part of **dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)**.
Axcer 90 mg helps reduce the risk of recurrent heart attacks, stroke, and cardiovascular death in high-risk patients. This medicine must be taken exactly as prescribed due to bleeding risks.
Product introduction
Ticagrelor is a reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist that inhibits platelet activation and aggregation. Unlike clopidogrel, it does not require metabolic activation, resulting in faster and more consistent platelet inhibition. The 90 mg strength is commonly used during the first 12 months after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event.
Uses of Axcer 90 mg (Ticagrelor)
Axcer is prescribed for:
- Acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or unstable angina)
- After coronary stent placement (PCI)
- Prevention of recurrent heart attack or stroke
- Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin
Note: Only your cardiologist should decide the duration of therapy—usually 12 months post-ACS, but it may vary.
Benefits of Axcer 90 mg (Ticagrelor)
- Rapid onset: faster platelet inhibition compared to clopidogrel.
- Reduced risk of recurrent heart attack: proven benefit in ACS patients.
- Does not require activation in the liver: more predictable response.
- Used worldwide as part of guideline-recommended therapy after PCI.
In other conditions
Ticagrelor may be used in selected cases of high-risk coronary artery disease based on clinician judgement.
Side effects of Axcer 90 mg (Ticagrelor)
The most significant risk is **bleeding**. Other common effects include:
Common side effects
- Bleeding (nosebleeds, bruising)
- Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
- Dizziness
- Nausea
Serious risks: severe internal bleeding, coughing blood, black stools, sudden breathlessness, or fainting. Seek urgent care immediately if these occur.
How to use Axcer 90 mg (Ticagrelor)
- Typical dose: **90 mg twice daily**, often with aspirin 75–100 mg once daily.
- Swallow tablets with water; food is optional.
- Do not skip doses — missing doses increases risk of clot formation.
- Do not stop this medicine abruptly; discuss with your cardiologist.
- Before surgery or dental work, inform your doctor — ticagrelor may need temporary interruption.
How Axcer works
Axcer blocks the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing their activation and aggregation. This stops clots from forming inside coronary arteries, especially after stent placement or a recent heart attack.
Safety advice
| Pregnancy / Breastfeeding | Use only if prescribed. Safety data is limited; consult your clinician. |
| Bleeding risk | Do not combine with NSAIDs, blood thinners, or herbal products like ginkgo without medical supervision. |
| Kidney / Liver issues | Use cautiously in severe liver disease; dose adjustments may be needed. |
| Alcohol | Limit alcohol — increases bleeding risk. |
| Breathing issues | Mild shortness of breath is common; report severe or worsening breathlessness immediately. |
What if you forget a dose?
- Take the missed dose as soon as you remember.
- If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one.
- Do NOT double the next dose.
All substitutes
Alternative antiplatelet options include:
- Clopidogrel
- Prasugrel (for certain PCI patients)
- Aspirin alone (less effective, used when dual therapy not possible)
Choice depends on cardiologist assessment, bleeding risk and comorbidities.
Quick tips
- Carry an emergency card stating you are taking ticagrelor.
- Avoid high-risk sports or activities that may cause injury.
- Report any unusual bruising or bleeding immediately.
- Never stop antiplatelet therapy early after a stent unless instructed by a cardiologist.

FAQs
Can I take Axcer with painkillers?
Avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen — they increase bleeding risk. Paracetamol is usually safer.
What should I do before surgery?
Your doctor may advise stopping ticagrelor 5 days before surgery. Do not change dosing without approval.
Is there a reversal agent?
There is no widely available direct antidote yet — severe bleeding is managed in hospital with supportive treatment.
How should I store Axcer?
Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
