Hitica 90mg Tablet (Ticagrelor) is an antiplatelet medicine used to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and serious cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including unstable angina or recent myocardial infarction. It helps keep blood flowing freely by preventing platelets from sticking together and forming harmful clots in blood vessels. Typically prescribed alongside low‑dose aspirin and taken under medical supervision, regular use helps improve long‑term outcomes in individuals with heart disease or those who have undergone angioplasty with stent placement. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for safe and effective treatment.
