Question 1

Can a person ingest plavix and eliquis at the same time in the morning every day?

Accepted Answer

Certainly, the risk of bleeding is increased taking both of these at the same time, but is can be taken at the same time for example when the patient has a cardiac stent and atrial fibrillation. Medication are given then the benefits out way the risks. Speak to your doctor.

Question 2

H attack  and stroke 11 months ago,  1 des in lad,  took plavix (clopidogrel)  all  the  time  &  aspirin for 3,5 months. can plavix (clopidogrel)  be  substituted with eliquis?

Accepted Answer

To date most information favors Eliquis over Plavix (clopidogrel) in several studies mainly having to do with atrial fibrillation. Data on your particular situation is not really available yet partly because we have to test Eliquis with DES to see if there are any problems. Keep watching as I am sure if Eliquis proves out you may be able to switch in future

Question 3

Is it ok to be on a high protein diet while on eliquis, plavix, and aspirin?

Accepted Answer

Why are you on these medications? Why do you want to be on high protein diet? 
It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor who prescribed these medications. 
Wish you good health!

Question 4

How long should i take plavix and/ or eliquis  after stent implant?

Accepted Answer

This is question for your cardiologist as there are different guidelines depending on the stent put in.

Question 5

I'm on eliquis, plavix, and baby aspirin daily. have bruises all over my legs (some quite large) but no where else. not sure where they came from. how concerned should i be about bleeding on all three meds?

Accepted Answer

Individually these meds increase risk for bleeding, this risk increases when used in combination. That said, they are usually prescribed in combination for good reason when BENEFIT outweighs the risk of bleeding.  It is to discuss this concern with the prescriber of these medications, and make sure  you understand the reason for being on all meds. Would not change anything until talking to them.

Question 6

Had brachial artery blood clot complication after brachial accessed catheter angiogram. no heart disease.clot was removed surgically.  why do i have to be on plavix, eliquis, and aspirin now? why am i at a higher risk for another blood clot?

Accepted Answer

I assume the anti-coagulation is to be temporary and that some other clotting propensity has not been discovered.  It is probable that the initial catheterization and the surgery to remove the clot has produced minor injury to the artery wall, and you will require anticoagulation until that minor damage has healed.  If you have further questions, you should ask the doctor prescribing the thinner!

Question 7

Should i change from (aspirin&plavix) to apixaban to reduce embolus risk in 72yr hypertensive male with paroxysmal afib,scr1.7 cause i'm afraid ofbled?

Accepted Answer

Risk of bleeding is higher with Apixaban than with aspirin and plavix (clopidogrel) combination.

Question 8

Can you take lipitor (atorvastatin) and plavix at the same time?

Accepted Answer

You can take Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Plavix at the same time, very common to be given together.

Question 9

Can you take lovenox, (enoxaparin) plavix & cumadin at the same time. ( older patient with heart history?

Accepted Answer

Lovenox and Coumadin (warfarin) are started together but once Coumadin (warfarin) is therapeutic, Lovenox is stopped. Plavix can be taken with Coumadin (warfarin) or combo of lovenox/coumadin. The risk of bleeding and the use of different anticoagulants and anti platelet drugs should be carefully decided by the physicians and is done on a case by case basis.
