Plavix: I would be hard pressed to blame the plavix for the flu like symptoms and feel that it's very important to take it and aspirin because of the recent stent placement. However if it's proven that you're intolerant of plavix, there are other antiplatelet agents, such as brilinta that you could take. Discuss this important question with your cardiologist.

Plavix: This is typical for plavix. Usually it is best to ignore it. Mostly it will be the extensor surface of the forearms, an exaggerated version of senile purpura.
