Does Brilinta Interact With Lipitor?

Medication adverse effect
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Your mother symptoms are pretty much correlated with the medications she take. As far as cough is concerned, brilinta also called ticagrelor is notorious for causing cough. Also if the procedure was done under general anesthesia, anesthesia medications can result in such cough symptoms .
Regarding diarrhea every single one of these medication has diarrhea as significant side effect. Regarding management, there are two options. Conservatively treat the symptoms, like coughing with some antitussives and home remedies like salt water gargles, hot beverages like non caffeinated tea, her XXXXXXX or green tea mixed with honey etc and throat lozenges to see if these suppress the cough.
Diarrhea will need motility reducing medications like loperamide as well as diet therapy like BRAT diet ( Banana, rice , apple sauce , toast) pomegranate juices, green tea and yogurt with peppermint should help.
if the symptoms persist then your doctor should be consulted and change of medications should be considered.
