In addition non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) should be avoided due to an increased risk of bleeding.
  • Any occasional doses of the following substances at least one week before the investigation due to potential interactions with adrenalin: Beta-blockers ((e.g. metoprolol, atenolol , bisoprolol), tricyclic antidepressants (e.g protriptyline, maprotilin), digoxin and kinidin.
  • Any occasional doses of the following substances at least one week before the investigation due to potential interactions with metoprolol: Calcium-antagonists (verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine), anti-arrythmics (e.g disopyramide), insulin, tricyclic antidepressants (e.g protriptyline, maprotilin), barbiturates; fentiazins and nitroglycerine.
  • Non-willingness to refrain from caffeine intake or nicotine use within 24 hours before start of treatment
  • Simultaneous participation in any other clinical study
  • Known drug abuse of any kind, or other condition that may render the subject more likely to be non-compliant to the protocol, as judged by the investigator
  • Known intolerance or contraindication to ticagrelor, adrenaline or metoprolol
  • Any disorder that may interfere with drug absorption
  • Previous intracranial bleeding
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with adherence to trial protocol
