Clopidogrel "The doctor put me on Clopidogrel/Plavix 75 mg tablets, 1 tablet by mouth every day since my stent 3 years ago. I was taken off Plavix 3 weeks ago by my heart doctor, and now I'm not experiencing the shortness of breath I had. I had no clue this was what was causing my shortness of breath."

"The large white pill, R-196, version of this pill gets stuck in my throat every time I take it, every time. I always take a sip of water first and swallow with as much water as my mouth can hold. Terrible burn and hard to clear with food or more water. Pink version never did this. I a"
