"Great experience, no problem. I feel great. I have been on Brilinta 60mg for over 3 years and I am so thankful that this drug works for me. I have had no side effects. I will recommend this treatment to anyone that has heart conditions. It has helped me to continue to live a happy life."

"Entered CCU with 95% blockage in LAD. Stent placement, prescribed Brilinta 90mg 2x daily with daily 81mg aspirin, Statin & BP med. I've been taking Brilinta for 18 months, tired all the time lately, and concerned about bleeding effects with long-term use. I did have an episode where my heart was skipping beats, requiring an ER visit, but no cause was determined. Brilinta information sheet states that the 90mg dose is for the first year following a PCI event, so I'll follow up with the cardiologist to see about switching to aspirin only."

"I have 27 stents. Recently, I was put on Brilinta and feel like I could sleep all day. I have the shortness of breath. I have heartburn with this terribly. I thought it was my imagination until I read the reviews and wow I am not crazy after all. I just hope the side affects get better as I work a job and the fatigue is awful. I was on Plavix but the blockages kept coming. I like Plavix better but hopefully the side affects will light up"
