A member asked:
How would be a patient taking plavix (clopidogrel) treated if he/she got a stomach ulcer? would plavix (clopidogrel) be quitted/changed with something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plavix (clopidogrel) stopped: Yes, Plavix (clopidogrel) would be discontinued in this situation. Unfortunately it is really not safer than aspirin when it comes to risk for bleeding from ulcers. In this situation all factors would be considered: reason/need for anti-coagulation, how strong is it, etc. Options would include no anti-coagulation, low or intermediate dose aspirin, self-administered shots/heparin, or warfarin/Coumadin.
