Safety profile and adverse drug reactions with causality assessment of Ticagrelor in Myocardial Infraction
Abstract
Introduction: Antiplatelet medications are the most commonly used first-line therapy in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).P2Y12 is one of the two platelet receptors for adenosine diphosphate (ADP), which play a very important role in platelet function and thrombus formation.
Method: In this article, we present 2 case reports of patients, showing severe symptoms of dyspnoea. Then we describe possible mechanisms of these complications when switching Ticagrelor to other antiplatelet drugs, and also make therapeutic recommendations for Ticagrelor-associated therapy based on what we know presently to deal with such symptoms.
Results: In ACS patients, with existing respiratory disorders, Dyspnoea can be fatal. Clinical studies have shown that reduced lung function or low EF is not harmful contraindications for Ticagrelor.
Discussion: However, these groups of patients should be monitored closely after administration of Ticagrelor.
