On plavix and aspirin for 2nd stent after re stenosis. getting big and tiny bruises all over arms and legs. doctor suggested possibly doing plavix every other day. will that greatly reduce therapeutic effects of it? don't want stent to clot again

See hematologist: You need to be evaluated for clotting factors also, the suggestion to stop aspirin makes sense not sure about what to do about plavix or should it be changed to a newer anticoagulant.
