Clopidogrel "I had stents and triple bypass in 2019, have taken Plavix and low dose Aspirin since then. No issues on Plavix except for easily bruising. I am switching to Vazalore 81mg to see if this works better for inflamed stomach caused by these two meds. Cannot take PPI as it depletes bone mass over time. I just turned 70 and am happy to say Plavix has worked so far."

Clopidogrel "A great deal of bloating and some digestive discomfort. Every few weeks, it feels like I am getting a bad head cold, then it goes away. I hope it's doing the trick!"

"I was taking this medication from Nov. 2021 until Feb. 22, 2022, when the doctor stopped it. I developed problems with my fingers turning blue and white during extreme cold weather. 30 years ago, my hands became frozen during backcountry skiing. This didn't bother me until taking clopidogrel, which I just discovered was most likely the cause by checking online. My fingernails became brittle recently. 75 mg once a day in pill form. It was given as a blood thinner. I don't know if it worked, but I take another blood thinner and assume one of them worked, I don't know."
