: Chances are what you passed in diarrhea were contents of your small and large gut and not stomach. But always a good idea to consult your doc

Hi doctors! I notice that I am very prone to purple bruises. I am on Plavix 75 mg 1x daily and have been for quite some time. How would I know if the purple bruises are a reaction to the Plavix or are a a separate area that needs to be addressed?

A member asked:

Hi doctors! I have been on Plavix since 2004. I have five stents. I trust my cardiologist very very much, but with total respect to him, I had read that Plavix is typically only for one year. Is that true? Can you be on Plavix for too long a period?

Very good evening doctors. How can I know if the purple bruises that I get are from taking Plavix and 81mg aspirin on a daily basis or are related to platelets or possibly from both?

A member asked:

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!

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?
