Has anyone had any side effects with Brilinta ?

Posted by craigcraig @craigcraig, May 19 5:30am

Hi. At my two year anniversary testing for my liver transplant Mayo found my stenosis of the arteries is worsening again. I have otherwise been doing well and consider myself to have been very lucky with the transplant on balance. I had already been back to AZ a third and fourth time for angioplasties , stents , etc. This time they just took me off of Plavix and Eliquise and put me on Brilinta. Has anyone had this and experienced any side effects ? For me minor breathing issues and sleep changes (may be unrelated ?) the first days. Thanks

Craig, it's been a couple more weeks for you on Brilinta. How is it going?

@colleenyoung Thank you for this Colleen. One month in now and well. Only side effects occasional , slight, breathing issues. And slight pain (about a 1) near the liver area a number of times. But Mayo thinks it may be unrelated to the Brilinta. I just received my first monthly blood work results back today and I am outside the normal limits on zero of 31 blood tests recorded so far. I have not had that prior in two years. Thank you again for the link !
