Experiences with

Brilinta

Fast forward 3 years ago, I had another (very small) blood clot, this time it went to my heart and had to have an angio w/stint and was on Brilinta for a few years. Genetic testing now says I have APS but possibly not lupus. History of Hashimotos, Me/CFS, IBD, Fibromyalgia though.

Clopidogrel does seem to be the favoured anti-platelet medication, but I gather there are alternatives, such as Ticagelor/Brilinta and Dipyridamole. I gather that both need to be taken more than once a day and that the former poses more of a risk of bleeding.

Now medicine is Metoprolol 50mg Extended Release, Rosuvastatin 20mg, Ezetimibe 10mg, Aspirin 81mg and Brilinta 90mg (twice a day for year). The questions I have is: 1. Why did plaque grow from 60% to 99% when my Medicine, Exercise, Diet was all on track? Any theories? 2.

Hi Im currently on brilinta twice a day and 1 cardiprin/aspirin 100mg daily ..will it be ok if I accidentally missed 1 dosage of cardiprin /aspirin 1 day

The cardiologist would follow a stent with Plavix or Brilinta for a year to fight clogging, increasing bleeding risk. I met with my NIH acalabrutinib trial Principal Investigator last week. A stent will not exit me from the trial, thankfully.

My doctor upped my Atorvastatin to 80mg and also prescribed Brilinta. About a month out from my procedure I started feeling very anxious off and on throughout the day seemingly out of the blue and have had trouble sleeping, which I've never had a problem with.

I take warfarin and Brilinta both and just had an outrageous bloody nose that landed me in the hospital on Saturday. I'm still so weak and dizzy 5 days later. Anyone else struggle with those? Thanks! Patti

Now these 2 plus plavix 80mg (cause brilinta caused shortness of breath) and lipitor 75. I feel horrible! Before surgery o lost 61 pounds, but still at 304. Its a lot , but still got a long way to go Before surgery I had absolutely no issues except high blood pressure.

I am back on antiplatelet therapy, starting with Brilinta, then going back to Plavix after several months. I was also put on a small dose of Lisinopril and Lipitor was added. I also have Nitro for angina. Thanks for your sharing. Patti
