Axcer 90 mg is a blood thinner used after stent placement, not a blood pressure medicine. It is usually continued for 6-12 months or longer, depending on your stent type and risk factors. Do not stop it on your own and follow your doctor's advice strictly.

Factors Influencing Duration

Importance of Regular Follow-Up
- Regular medical reviews are essential to adjust medication duration and monitor for side effects.
Coordination with Other Blood Pressure Medications

Can I use Ticagrace 90 mg instead of Axcer 90 mg tablet? Please advise.

Both Ticagrace 90 mg and Axcer 90 mg contain ticagrelor 90 mg and are used for the same purpose. However, you should switch brands only after confirming with your cardiologist or prescribing doctor. Although the active ingredient is the same, excipients may differ between brands, and some individuals may be allergic or sensitive to certain components. Your doctor can advise whether the switch is appropriate for you.

Can you recommend a lower-cost generic medicine to replace Axcer 90mg Tablet?

Axcer 90 mg contains ticagrelor, and the same salt is available from other manufacturers at a lower cost. These generic versions work the same way when taken in the same dose. Always switch only after confirming with your doctor.
