A member asked:
My doctor prescribed clazol instead plavix (clopidogrel) and aspirin for me; what is the advantage if there is one?

Similar: Plavix (clopidogrel) and clazol both inhibit platelet aggregation. Plavix (clopidogrel) is associated with a slighly higher risk of lowering the platelet count than clazol. However, clazol is usually contraindicated in patients with class 3 or 4 heart failure.

Hi doctors. I take Metoprolol ER, Plavix, 81 mg aspirin, & Losartan each daily. Does it matter in which order I take them? Should I take them all at the same time? Should I take them in the morning or at night, with or without food or does it matter?
