Product introduction
Brigrel 60mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet or blood thinners. It reduces the formation of harmful blood clots in blood vessels, which helps to prevent heart attacks or strokes in people with heart disease.
Brigrel 60mg Tablet is also used to treat people with a recent heart attack or severe heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) who have undergone stenting of the heart. It helps to prevent serious heart-related problems like having another heart attack, stroke, or formation of blood clots in stents in such people.
Your doctor will also prescribe aspirin, another antiplatelet medicine, along with this medicine.

Let your doctor know if bleeding persists or if the breathlessness worsens or does not go away.
