A member asked:
Does the drug clopidogrel, blood thinner have side effect of making the brain hemmorhage if you take it for a long time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Clopidogrel and any blood thinner always caries a risk of any kind of hemmorhage but generally the risk is low and less than the risk of a problem that the clopidogrel is trying to prevent. However in my career I have seen 2 or 3 cases of bone marrow failure in patients who have taken clopidogrel for a long period of time.
