A member asked:

When switching from plavix to aspirin for a stent in celiac artery, is it 325mg or 81 mg? my surgeon is impossible to get a hold of

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check it out: I would use 325 until you can clear with surgeon on a lower dose. or just remind on Plavix until you can contact.
