"After a heart attack and stent placement, I've taken this for about six weeks. Side effects seem to be extreme shortness of breath. Between refills, I ran out and went two days without it. Those were the only two days since that I've felt like myself and had any energy or strength, the difference was like night and day."

"I am now 73 years young. I had 6 stents in 2019 and have been on Brilinta ever since. These 2 points aren’t in many or any of the comments. Yes, I have shortness of breath, yes, I bleed easily, and yes, I bruise easily. I am able to stay quite active. Of course, I don’t like taking any prescriptions (because I no longer trust pharmaceuticals, since Covid), but so far all I can say is it seems to be working. I don’t know if an alternative would be any different or if I could/should quit this drug."

"This is a terrible medication in my opinion, with ramifications that go well beyond lack of energy, breathing problems, and dietary restrictions. The company even advises users not to shave with a blade. That should tell you enough. There are also a multitude of medications for which Brilinta is contraindicated. If you suffer from sciatic pain, the only medication you can use is OxyCodone or a similar narcotic with terrible chances of becoming addicted. Prescribing doctors need to do much more research prior to writing a script for this med. Even many pharmacologists warn about Brilinta."

"Bruising arms, nose bleeding that is hard to stop. Slow healing wounds, and doctors that don't know how to read blood pressure."
