==Overview==
'''Ticagrelor''' (previously known as AZD6140) is a member of a new generation of [[P2Y12|P2Y<sub>12</sub>]] inhibitors. Chemically, this is a first-in-class member of the cyclo-pentyl-triazolo-pyrimidine (CPTP) family with a mean terminal half-life of approximately 7 h and a median Tmax of 2.6 h. Ticagrelor’s steady-state volume of distribution (87.5 L) indicates it does not extensively distribute into or bind to tissues.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Ticagrelor  versus Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary  Syndromes|last=Wallentin|first=Lars|date=August 30, 2009  |journal=NEJM|url=http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/NEJMoa0904327}}</ref>

'''WARNING: (A) BLEEDING RISK, and (B) ASPIRIN DOSE AND BRILINTA EFFECTIVENESS'''
</center>

''See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.''
</center>
<b>
(A) BLEEDING RISK
* BRILINTA, like other antiplatelet agents, can cause significant, sometimes fatal bleeding.
* Do not use BRILINTA in patients with active pathological bleeding or a history of intracranial hemorrhage.
* Do not start BRILINTA in patients planned to undergo urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). When possible, discontinue BRILINTA at least 5 days prior to any surgery.
* Suspect bleeding in any patient who is hypotensive and has recently undergone coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), CABG, or other surgery.
* If possible, manage bleeding without discontinuing BRILINTA. Stopping BRILINTA increases the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
(B) ASPIRIN DOSE AND BRILINTA EFFECTIVENESS
* Maintenance doses of aspirin above 100 mg reduce the effectiveness of BRILINTA and should be avoided.

==Taking Alcohol with Ticagrelor==
Alcohol-Ticagrelor interaction has not been established. Talk to your doctor about the effects of taking alcohol with this medication.
==Mechanism of Action==
Like thienopyridines, ticagrelor is only orally available, but in contrast with these pro-drugs, ticagrelor is direct acting, i.e. does not require metabolic activation. In addition, ticagrelor is a reversible [[P2Y12|P2Y<sub>12</sub>]] inhibitor with more rapid onset and off set of action compared with clopidogrel. Ticagrelor has 2 metabolites. The major ticagrelor metabolite (AR-C124910XX) has a [[P2Y12|P2Y<sub>12</sub>]] inhibiting activity comparable to the parent compound while a second metabolite (AR-C133913XX) is inactive. Ticagrelor is rapidly and extensively metabolized in the liver by CYP3A4. The [[P2Y12|P2Y<sub>12</sub>]] receptor is targeted by ticagrelor via a mechanism that is non-competitive with ADP, suggesting the existence of an independent receptor-binding site. Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor provides greater and more consistent platelet inhibition.<ref>{{cite journal
