TICLOP TABLET

TICLOP TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called platelet aggregation inhibitors used to lower the risk of stroke in those who have already experienced a stroke, have shown warning symptoms of one, or are not responding well to aspirin treatment. Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced.

TICLOP TABLET contains Ticlopidine, which works by preventing the platelets from forming clots. Thereby, it helps reduce the formation of clots and the risk of stroke.

In some cases, TICLOP TABLET may cause side effects such as diarrhoea, headache, stomach pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Let the doctor know if you are allergic to any components in TICLOP TABLET. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. TICLOP TABLET is not recommended for children as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

TICLOP TABLET is used in the prevention of Stroke. The detailed uses of TICLOP TABLET are as follows:

• Stroke prevention: TICLOP TABLET is used to reduce the risk of thrombotic strokes, especially in patients who have already experienced a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). It works by preventing blood clots from forming in the arteries that supply the brain.
• Coronary stent support: TICLOP TABLET is used in combination with aspirin for up to 30 days after the placement of a coronary artery stent. This helps prevent clot formation at the site of the stent, reducing the risk of heart attack or other complications.
• Heart attack prevention:TICLOP TABLET is used to lower the chances of a heart attack in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease by inhibiting platelet aggregation and improving blood flow.
• Unstable angina:TICLOP TABLET is used to manage unstable angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart) by reducing the likelihood of clot formation in coronary arteries.

• TICLOP TABLET should be taken with meals to improve its absorption and to prevent stomach upset.
• Typically, it is taken 2 times a day; however, follow your doctor’s advice regarding the dosage and duration.
• Swallow the tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not break, crush or chew TICLOP TABLET.

TICLOP TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called platelet aggregation inhibitors used to reduce the risk of fatal or non-fatal thrombotic stroke in patients who have experienced warning signs of a stroke and in those who have had a complete thrombotic stroke. It may also used in combination with aspirin to prevent the formation of blood clots in coronary stents. TICLOP TABLET contains Ticlopidine, which works by preventing the platelets from forming clots. Thereby, it helps reduce the formation of clots and the risk of stroke.

Do not take TICLOP TABLET if you are allergic to any of its components; if you have hematopoietic disorders like neutropenia (low white blood cells), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), a history of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (life-threatening blood disorder), peptic ulcers, intracranial bleeding, or severe liver impairment. Inform the doctor if you have liver disease, bleeding problems, kidney disease, bleeding ulcers, high blood fats, or high blood cholesterol. TICLOP TABLET may cause a decrease in white blood cells; consult the doctor if you experience fever, sore throat, chills, or other signs of infection. Seek medical attention if you experience fever, anaemia, kidney abnormalities, and neurological changes; these could be the signs of a potentially life-threatening condition known as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Call your doctor immediately if you notice yellowing of the eyes or skin, pale colour, rash, fever, seizures, difficulty speaking, dark urine, or weakness on the side of the body.
