Ticagrelor tablets are indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or a history of MI. For at least the first 12 months following ACS, it is superior to clopidogrel. Ticagrelor tablet also reduces the risk of stent thrombosis in patients who have been stented for treatment of ACS [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Ticagrelor tablet is indicated to reduce the risk of a first MI or stroke in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) at high risk for such events [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. While use is not limited to this setting, the efficacy of ticagrelor tablet was established in a population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ticagrelor tablet is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke (NIH Stroke Scale score ≤5) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) [see Clinical Studies (14.3)].
