"The doctor put me on Brilinta after having stents placed in my heart artery. Unfortunately, I got the side effect of shortness of breath even though my O2 level was fine. He then placed me on Effient, and this syndrome went away in a couple of days."

"Placed on Effient after a third heart attack caused by clotting around my first stent 8 years earlier. Have not had any issues with my heart in the 2 1/2 years since. I have experienced severe nose bleeds, along with bleeding on minor cuts and bruising. These side effects have been decreased by reducing my aspirin intake to every other day."

"In March 2016, my wife had a heart attack. One stent. They prescribed Effient. March 2017... two more days before she could stop taking the drug... she died from a brain bleed. People should be more forewarned of risks and side effects. Deb, my wife, was only 57 years old."
