Black Box Warning

WARNING: (A) BLEEDING RISK, and (B) ASPIRIN DOSE AND Brilinta EFFECTIVENESS

See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.

BLEEDING RISK:

  • Brilinta, like other antiplatelet agents, can cause significant, sometimes fatal bleeding.
  • Do not use Brilinta in patients with active pathological bleeding or a history of intracranial hemorrhage.
  • Do not start Brilinta in patients planned to undergo urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). When possible, discontinue Brilinta at least 5 days prior to any surgery.
  • Suspect bleeding in any patient who is hypotensive and has recently undergone coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), CABG, or other surgery.
  • If possible, manage bleeding without discontinuing Brilinta. Stopping Brilinta increases the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.

ASPIRIN DOSE AND Brilinta EFFECTIVENESS:

  • Maintenance doses of aspirin above 100 mg reduce the effectiveness of Brilinta and should be avoided.
