Ticagrelor Reminder: Twice-Daily Doses Made Easy With mydawAI

The mydawAI team · · 3 min read

The short answer

Ticagrelor is an antiplatelet that is commonly taken twice a day, which means two chances a day to forget. mydawAI sends a WhatsApp reminder for each dose with a Taken button, so morning and evening both get covered.

What is Ticagrelor commonly prescribed for?

Ticagrelor is an antiplatelet medicine commonly prescribed after a heart attack or certain other heart events, often together with low-dose aspirin. Like clopidogrel, it reduces the chance of platelets forming clots, though it works in a slightly different way. Brilinta is a well-known brand. Your cardiologist decides how long you take it.

Why does taking Ticagrelor on time matter?

Ticagrelor is commonly prescribed twice a day, and the evening dose is the one people forget most. Morning tablets ride along with breakfast, but evenings are busy and unpredictable. Two clear WhatsApp reminders, each at its own time, help keep a steady level of protection through the day and night, exactly as your cardiologist intended.

How do I set up a reminder for Ticagrelor in mydawAI?

The quickest way is to add ticagrelor to mydawAI once, and let the reminders come to you on WhatsApp.

  1. Sign up at app.mydawai.in. It is free during beta and needs no card.
  2. Add Ticagrelor from a prescription photo or PDF, by typing, or by sending a voice note like "Ticagrelor morning and night". You do not need to say the strength; it comes from your prescription.
  3. Review and save. mydawAI fills in what it can, asks follow-up questions for any gaps, and waits for you to confirm.
  4. Your reminder arrives on WhatsApp at each dose time, with the medicine name and a Taken button. A dose can be marked taken from 30 minutes before its time, on its own day.

Can mydawAI send Ticagrelor reminders to my parents?

Yes. Many people use mydawAI to look after an elderly parent's ticagrelor from another city. Add them to your Care Circle (there is no cap on family members), choose English or Hindi for them, and their reminders arrive on their own WhatsApp after they agree. Escalation can retry a missed dose and then message you.

How do I refill Ticagrelor from my local pharmacy?

Turn on auto-refill and mydawAI asks you on WhatsApp when ticagrelor is running low, then sends the order to your own local pharmacy only after you say yes. Every Taken tap lowers the stock count, so mydawAI knows when the strip is nearly finished. Your pharmacy gets the order and prescription on their WhatsApp between 9 AM and 6 PM, and you arrange payment and pickup or delivery with them directly.

What if I miss a dose of Ticagrelor?

If you miss a dose of ticagrelor, follow the leaflet or ask your pharmacist or doctor what to do, and do not double up unless they say so. Because this is a blood thinner, consistency matters more than usual. Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed, keep every blood test or follow-up visit in their monitoring plan, and tell any dentist, surgeon or new doctor that you take it.

Your mydawAI history shows missed doses clearly, which is useful to share at your next check-up, and a caretaker can be alerted when a family member misses one. Our guide on tips for a daily medicine routine has more.

Can Chintu answer questions about Ticagrelor?

Yes, Chintu can share general, well-established information about ticagrelor once it is on your mydawAI list. Ask Chintu "When is my next ticagrelor?" or "Did I take my morning dose?" and it checks your mydawAI schedule. For general questions it shares well-established information only.

Think of Chintu as a helpful friend who knows your schedule. It shares well-established facts about medicines on your list, but never diagnoses and never changes your dose. You may also like missed-dose alerts for caregivers.
