  • Active pathological bleeding
  • History of intracranial haemorrhage
  • Moderate to severe hepatic impairment.
  • Co-administration of ticagrelor with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole,clarithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, and atazanavir) is contraindicated, as co-administration may lead to a substantial increase in exposure to ticagrelor
