Overview
Ticlid 250mg Tablet contains ticlopidine 250mg, an antiplatelet medicine (thienopyridine, P2Y12 inhibitor) used to reduce the risk of stroke in patients who have had warning signs of stroke or a previous stroke, generally reserved for patients who cannot tolerate or are not suitable for other antiplatelet agents, due to its serious blood-count risks described below.
Ticlopidine works by stopping platelets from clumping together to form clots that can block blood vessels supplying the brain, but it requires close blood monitoring because of a risk of severe reductions in white blood cells or platelets, particularly in the first few months of treatment.
How it Works
Ticlopidine irreversibly blocks the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing ADP-mediated platelet activation and aggregation. This reduces the platelets’ ability to form clots, lowering the risk of an artery-blocking clot causing an ischaemic stroke.
Directions for Use
Take Ticlid 250mg Tablet with food to reduce stomach upset, at evenly spaced times twice a day. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Attend every scheduled blood test appointment during treatment, as this monitoring is essential for your safety, and contact your doctor immediately if you develop fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, or unusual bruising.
Dosage
The usual dose of Ticlid 250mg Tablet is 250mg twice daily, taken with food. Because of the risk of severe blood-count abnormalities, your doctor will arrange regular full blood counts (typically every 2 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment) and will only continue treatment if your blood counts remain safe.
