Ticagrelor is an orally administered direct-acting P2Y12-receptor antagonist. In vitro studies have demonstrated that ticagrelor binds reversibly and noncompetitively to the P2Y12 receptor at a site distinct from that of the endogenous agonist adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
In healthy subjects, ticagrelor is rapidly absorbed, with a median time to peak concentration (Tmax) of 2–3 hours after multiple twice/day oral dosing. Similarly, the median Tmax for one active metabolite of ticagrelor, AR-C124910XX, is ∼2.5–4 hours.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
