Ticlopidine is used for:
Reducing the risk of stroke. It may also be used in combination with aspirin to prevent a blood clot from forming after a stent is placed in the coronary artery. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Ticlopidine is a platelet aggregation inhibitor. It works by thinning the blood, which helps reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke.
Do NOT use Ticlopidine if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Ticlopidine
- you have an active bleeding disorder (eg, bleeding stomach ulcer, bleeding in the brain), a blood disease, blood clotting disorder, thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, or severe liver problems
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
