Intermediate metabolizer for plavix. doctor increase dose from 75 mg to 150 mg. is this a good decision ? will this compensate for the lack of response or diminished response with 75 mg ?

This kind of decision is always a judgment call based on the details of the clinical situation. Without knowing all those details, it is impossible to know whether this is a good decision or not, and the Doctor Who would be best to make that call is the Doctor Who has been seeing you. If you have further questions, you should ask that doctor or get a second opinion. Good luck.

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!
