No, it isn't: there's no interaction between loperamide and plavix, good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, wish you well

Very good evening doctors. How would I know if occasional blood in my saliva/sputum with no cough at all and no feeling of fever could be a pulmonary/lung cancer problem or a gum/dental issue? I am on Plavix 75mg and aspirin 81mg and I have stents?

Confused; after an ischemic stroke, been prescribed 325 mg aspirin and plavix (clopidogrel). Research doesn't support this; doctor says it's okay. Pls advise.
