What can reduce bruising related to plavix use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paradoxical: The intended purpose of prescribing plavix is to reduce platelet function. Bruising is an indication that plavix is doing what it is intended to to. You cannot reduce bruising and still have the benefit of plavix.
