"Heart attack on 6th December, 5 days in coronary ward. Given this drug and after a month I developed painful joints, wheezing in chest, shallow breathing at night, racing heartbeat, itchy flaky skin on right foot. Red spots and swelling, moving up to just below the knee. Told DR it was medication related. Doctor gave me a course of fluclox antibiotics, thinking it was an infection / cellulitis. Didn't touch it! Yesterday, forgot to take meds in the morning, foot felt better, less itchy. Took meds around 7 pm, rash started itching again, skin cracking and sore. Using raw coconut oil to soften skin and provide anti-inflammatory relief, which is working well. Tried steroid cream, had to wash it off as increased rash and more painful. Today decided to stop using clopidogrel. Lower leg feels less itchy. Hope this helps someone else."

Clopidogrel "2004 single bypass followed by seven stents over 6 years, I've been on Plavix since the start and remain on it today. After 8 years, no problems from the medication. Now at 64, I continue to golf and ride bicycle, all at a moderate pace."

Clopidogrel "Makes me tired sometimes and bleed a lot when cut, but a necessary drug for me. 6 heart attacks and quadruple bypass surgery all in 1 day. That was Easter of 2008. Still alive... but not the man I used to be."
