Ticagrelor Metabolites the key to Lethality
AstraZeneca drug now generic is in the headlines, but few are talking about how your body reacts to the Fluorinated compound and its metabolites. 5,570 Deaths on FAERS to 31 March 2025.
As a former Fluorine chemist, I am always alerted to danger when I see a structural formula like Ticagrelor, also sold under brand names including Brilinta.
Defluorination can yield a flood of lethal Fluoride ions from a number of aromatic drugs, as previously mentioned.
See what I found when searching for metabolites and impurites of Ticagrelor.
Please share widely and let me know if you find any sensible discussion of the toxicology of Ticagrelor and its Fluorine bearing metabolites.
