A member asked:
Very good afternoon doctors. is there any way for someone who takes plavix and aspirin daily 81mg to tell the difference between expected or for lack of a better word, "normal" bruising and bruising which may be more abnormal and concerning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short answer: Would be no. It is all based on a well established pattern. If no changes previously, sudden appearance of skin changes should not be attributed to meds only. If changes to the “normal bruising” established on the drugs, something else is likely to happen from a new drug or interaction to an acute condition.

Good afternoon doctors. I have a dentist question. When I get a gum scaling every three to four months, I often get bleeding from the gums. I am on Plavix and 81mg aspirin. Is it normal for gums to need after scaling, if one is on Plavix and aspirin!

Hi doctors. I take Metoprolol ER, Plavix, 81 mg aspirin, & Losartan each daily. Does it matter in which order I take them? Should I take them all at the same time? Should I take them in the morning or at night, with or without food or does it matter?
