Do not stop using Brilique on your own after 12 months; The decision to discontinue and possibly continue other antiplatelet drugs should be made by a cardiologist.
Usually, the drug should be discontinued as directed by your doctor, who evaluates the risks and benefits and decides how to stop the therapy gradually. Acetylsalicylic acid is also often used during treatment, which also requires consultation.
Stopping Brilique prematurely or abruptly may increase the risk of death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, or other cardiovascular complications, so it is not recommended to stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.
Brilique (ticagrelor) is an antiplatelet medication usually used for up to 12 months, especially after acute coronary syndrome or procedures such as angioplasty.
