25 August 2016 - CADTH has recommended the reimbursement of AstraZeneca's Brilinta (ticagrelor) for the secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events.
The CADTH Canadian Drug Expert Committee has recommended that ticagrelor be reimbursed when co-administered with low-dose (75 mg to 150 mg) aspirin for the secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction and a high risk of developing an atherothrombotic event, so long as certain condition and criteria are met.
One of the many conditions is a reduced price.
