A member asked:
My mom starts chemo tuesday. does she take her daily medicines, including her plavix (clopidogrel) and bp meds. also does she eat before her treatments?

Best to: Ask her oncologist because each agent has different effects. I urge patients to stay on their medical regimen. Many chemo therapies lower platelet counts, but clopidogirel Plavix (clopidogrel) is not used casually. Light breakfast rarely a wrong choice; skip heavy or greasy foods. The platelet effects occur 10 - 14 days after administration. Ask when she goes in on tuesday.

Yes: Take all your medicines. Yes, eat something before you go.
