==Dosage and Administration==
 
Initiate BRILINTA treatment with a 180 mg (two 90 mg tablets) loading dose and continue treatment with 90 mg twice daily.
After the initial loading dose of aspirin (usually 325 mg), use BRILINTA with a daily maintenance dose of aspirin of 75-100 mg.
ACS patients who have received a loading dose of clopidogrel may be started on BRILINTA.
BRILINTA can be administered with or without food.
 
A patient who misses a dose of BRILINTA should take one 90 mg tablet (their next dose) at its scheduled time.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{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 = 26 February 2014 }}</ref>
