==Indications and Usage==
 
====Drug Interactions====
 
Ticagrelor is predominantly metabolized by [[CYP3A4]] and to a lesser extent by [[CYP3A5]]. Ticagrelor is also a p-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate.
 
====CYP3A inhibitors====
 
Avoid use of strong inhibitors of [[CYP3A]] (e.g., [[ketoconazole]], [[itraconazole]], [[voriconazole]], [[clarithromycin]], [[nefazodone]], [[ritonavir]], [[saquinavir]], [[nelfinavir]], [[indinavir]], [[atazanavir]] and [[telithromycin]]). See [[Ticagrelor warnings and precautions|Warnings and Precautions]] and [[Ticagrelor clinical pharmacology|Clinical pharmacology]].
 
====CYP3A inducers====
 
Avoid use with potent inducers of [[CYP3A]] (e.g., [[rifampin]], [[dexamethasone]], [[phenytoin]], [[carbamazepine]] and [[phenobarbital]]). See [[Ticagrelor warnings and precautions|Warnings and Precautions]] and [[Ticagrelor clinical pharmacology|Clinical pharmacology]].
 
====Aspirin====
 
Use of BRILINTA with [[aspirin]] maintenance doses above 100 mg reduced the effectiveness of BRILINTA. [See [[Ticagrelor warnings and precautions|Warnings and Precautions]] and [[Ticagrelor clinical pharmacology|Clinical pharmacology]]].                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
====Effects of BRILINTA on other drugs====
 
Ticagrelor is an inhibitor of CYP3A4/5 and the [[P-glycoprotein]] transporter.
 
'''* Simvastatin, lovastatin'''
 
BRILINTA will result in higher serum concentrations of simvastatin and lovastatin because these drugs are metabolized by [[CYP3A4]]. Avoid [[simvastatin]] and [[lovastatin]] doses greater than 40 mg. See [[Ticagrelor clinical pharmacology|Clinical pharmacology]].
 
'''* Digoxin'''
 
Digoxin: Because of inhibition of the P-glycoprotein transporter, monitor digoxin levels with initiation of or any change in BRILINTA therapy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
 
'''* Other Concomitant Therapy'''
 
BRILINTA can be administered with unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin, GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers.<ref>{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = BRILINTA (TICAGRELOR) TABLET [ASTRAZENECA LP] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=f7b3f443-e83d-4bf2-0e96-023448fed9a8 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 12 March 2014 }}</ref>
