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 "I had a stent put in April 2023. I have been on Plavix and a chewable baby aspirin since then. I have no ill effects from the Plavix. I also have PAD which the Plavix helps. Occasional bruising but nothing of any significance."

Clopidogrel "I had a silent heart attack in the summer of 2024 and then another one in the fall, which resulted in 2 stents. Widow maker 90% blocked and another one 70% blocked. I was put on Plavix 75 mg, along with Eliquis and Metoprolol to keep my blood thin as I also have 4 calcified blood clots in my right groin. Aside from excessive gas, my feet and ankles stay swollen. If this is what it takes to survive, it's worth it. I will be seeing my cardiologist in July to see what he thinks. That's my only issue thus far."

"I started taking clopidogrel 2 months ago, and I have had absolutely no problems taking this medicine... No side effects so far... I would recommend taking this medicine if you need to take it for a condition you are dealing with... This medicine is working well for me... I have had no more heart problems since I started taking clopidogrel... I feel great and started doing more things around the house and yard work too..."

Clopidogrel "I'm 30 years old. I had a heart attack 1 year ago, and I have 2 stents. I used Effient for 1 year, and then my doctor changed the pill from Effient to Plavix. I have been using Plavix + Coraspin for 1 year. I haven't had any problems. I love it."
