"March 2016 my wife had a heart attack. 1 stent. They prescribed effient. March 2017...2 more days before she could stop taking the drug...she died from a brain bleed. People should be more forewarned of risks & side effects. Deb my wife was only 57 yrs old."

"The doctor put me on Brilinta after having stents placed in my heart artery. Unfortunately, I got the side effect of shortness of breath even though my O2 level was fine. He then placed me on Effient and this syndrome went away in a couple of days."

"Placed on Effient after third heart attack caused by clotting around my first stent 8 years earlier. Have not had any issues with my heart in the 2 1/2 years since. I have experienced sever nose bleeds, along with the bleeding on minor cuts and bruising. These side effects have been decreased by reducing my aspirin intake to every other day."
