Brilinta Issues

Updated

Hi I have had 2 stents placed around 2 weeks back and was put on Brilinita 2 tablets of 90 mg each per day. Ever since I have started using this medication, I have had a headache all around my head - its not very painful but it is annoying, seems like slight electricity in my head all the time, along with this I am having chest pain on my right side which comes and goes - my cardiologist told me its got nothing to do with Brilinta - I am not too sure as my other issues such as blood pressure and diabetes is very much in control. Nothing else is wrong with me. Anyone else has had similar effect while using Brilinta?

Can Brilinta cause diarrhea/loose stools? I've been on it for a year. At first I had diarrhea. It went away but the loose stools never really did. And I still have occasional bouts of diarrhea.

The FDA does list chest pain, headache, nausea, diarrhea, back pain, and dizziness, as being among the possible side effects of Brilinta.

Ref: Brilinta Information

Unfortunately, even the best doctors may not be aware of all the possible side effects of any given medication, because they don't study them as intensely, and as in depth as pharmacists.

What other medications are you taking?
