A member asked:
I am taking deplatt tablets, i also have kidney stones and am to undergo laser kidney stone removal, have to stop deplatt, is there an alternative?

Ask who gave you med: You need to ask the doctor who gave you deplatt. You're on it for a reason, i'm assuming to prevent stroke, heart attack or blood clot. Some people need to be on a Lovenox (enoxaparin) bridge. As a urologist i would defer to the doctor who rx'd the deplat.
