Brilique

17/08/2017 | | 58moderated by Susan
ticagrelor (90mg) for heart attack

worse than the illness, in my case it meant heart fibrillations, had to stop immediately without properly being told why, was prescribed by the cardiologist, apparently as a routine. considered customisation. After 1 day more difficulty than ever with pressure on my chest that wasn't going away, fainting and imminent heart attack.

Atorvastatin

atorvastatin calcium trihydrate (40mg) for heart attack

I had a heart attack in 2014. I had an angioplasty and 2 stents. Then I was prescribed statins despite having normal cholesterol. I take the tablet in the evening together with 100 mg q10. Occasional muscle pain in my chest and around my shoulders. The drug is effective because my cholesterol has drastically reduced, especially ldl. I need to keep taking it until the meeting with Petrus.

Brilique

ticagrelor (90mg) for heart attack

After having 3 stents inserted, was given Brilique and in the beginning I thought that it was going really well, but at the end of my exercise I was more exhausted than before. I didn't think that it would have been anything to do with the Brilique but after reading what other users have said, I think that my problems have stemmed from using Brilique.

Metoprolol Tartrate

25/07/2017 | | 38moderated by Philip
metoprolol tartrate (50mg) for heart attack

I was given this drug in the hospital and after a few days we figured out that this was the reason I was lying around in bed, could hardly move, was struggling to talk. I even noticed myself that I was speaking really slowly and couldn't do anything, I was basically a zombie. I hope other people are able to benefit from it but for me it was a terrible experience. Seems to happen more often in c...

perindopril tert-butylamine (2mg) for heart attack

I've been on this medicine for about 9 years now and, as far as I can tell, I haven't had any problems with any side effects.

Atorvastatin

atorvastatin calcium trihydrate (40mg) for heart attack

I had a heart attack last year and have taken these tablets daily for the last few months. Ever since I’m sweating heavily 24/7 and I get nagging headaches. I feel like a different person and am deeply ashamed. Help, I want to get rid of all this sweat.

Pradaxa

dabigatran etexilate mesilate (150mg) for heart attack

Heart patient, at some point I developed an infection in my body with a very high fever and after 10 days in intensive care I was sent home with an antibiotic IV. and... so pradaxa as apparently I also had arrhythmia, which could be I suppose. from then on I just started feeling worse and worse. after talking to the cardiologist I was told to stop ascal and just take pradaxa. But I stopped taki...

Brilique

ticagrelor (90mg) for heart attack

Had a heart attack, was given this. Haematomas on my legs and excessive bleeding even from the smallest of cuts. Dangerous medicine in the event of a serious incident. Stopped on 12 May because of taking antibiotics and switched to 150 mg aspirin and a completely vegetarian diet.

Grepid

12/05/2017 | | 59moderated by Susan
clopidogrel besilate (75mg) for heart attack

After a heart attack in 2007 I recovered well thanks to an angioplasty. After 10 years without a single complaint, I have been told by the insurers that I need to switch to Grepid (after 10 years of Plavix). The Plavix isn't covered which means I have had weeks at home, ill. Dizzy (driving and cycling just not possible) Lots of stomach and bowel problems, incredible that this medicine has made ...

Coversyl Arginine

24/04/2017 | | 72moderated by Susan
perindopril arginine (10mg) for heart attack

As far as I am concerned, this is an excellent medicine although there are now considerable problems with the insurer. It may well be an expensive drug but I am not interested in trying cheap(er), generic rubbish. I'm not a guinea pig. And on top of all that I have to pay for this myself anyway!!

Brilique

ticagrelor (90mg) for heart attack

I had a heart attack in January 2015 (male 58 yr), had percutaneous angioplasty and 1 stent. I had to take a whole load of medicine one of which was Brilique. After a few months of serious anaemia (they even gave me a drip and iron tablets afterwards). After many unpleasant examinations the cause was found to be a weak blood vessel in the small intestine. GP and cardiologist decided I should qu...

Brilique

ticagrelor (90mg) for heart attack

Mind heart attack in November 2015, caused by a blockage in a vein. Cardiologist prescribed me this medicine in January but I didn't feel like I had any particular problems. Was rehabilitating and it was going well. To be honest haven't really had satisfactory explanation as to why I need to take these/any side effects.

ticagrelor (90mg) for heart attack

Really serious shortness of breath which seems to get worse the longer I take this medicine. Really limiting and sometimes scary. Bruises which suddenly appear, small in diameter but really dark in colour.
