Plavix (clopidogrel) "Have been on 75 mg Plavix and 81 mg aspirin for 14 years after having stent placed in carotid artery. Only side affect had been easy bruising UNTIL my last shipment clopidogrel from Dr. Reddy’s lab. Shape of pill has changed (now white & much larger). Now, after 30 days of use, I have very large dark purplish bruises on forearms. Looks like senile purpura. Need to find a another producer of generic Plavix!!"

Plavix (clopidogrel) "After 2 Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA’s) one hospital stay for 3 days. I was prescribed Plavix. I had an anaphylactic shock reaction. The next day comments from the nurses wow I have never seen such a bad reaction and the physicians apologizing the following day for giving me plavix. First time a physician has apologized I realized how bad my reaction had been. IF you have any drug sensitivities I would choose something else first."

"I’ve been prescribed Clopidogrel for a suspected TIA no evidence was found on examination or investigations. My symptoms were confined to my right eye. Since being on this med I have experienced gum bleeding when brushing teeth, loose stools, tummy ache and feel like I have influenza. I can’t function like this as I live alone. I’m persevering for a few more days (only began taking 4 days ago) to see if it eases, then will go back to my GP."

Plavix (clopidogrel) "After my VAD Stroke I am on plavix. I have a toddler that I still nurse. I looked up plavix for several days & talked to several doctors. Some said it was fine, some said it was not ok. After talking to so many people about it, I felt that it seemed ok to nurse on. I've been on it for a month and yesterday I realized that my 2yo is constipated. We are weaning ASAP now because I don't know what else it's doing to him, but it's definitely getting through. I just wanted to post this somewhere for other nursing moms to see. We are currently only nursing 2 times a day right now."

"I've been taking this medicine for a little over 6 months. I am a 66 yr. old female. In 2014, I lost 30 pds. on purpose, so I have been feeling good, except age-related pain in my hip joints. I've just realized recently that I'm no longer feeling pain in my joints. Nothing has changed in my life except the addition of this medicine. So...I've concluded this is a POSITIVE side effect from taking this medicine."
