A member asked:
Does higher dose plavix increase risk of plavix induced ttp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This very rare adverse effect may most likely be related to the Plavix itself and a higher dose due to metabolic variations is probably not going to significantly increase the absolute risk. However, if you start with a low platelet count prior to the Plavix, you might want an alternative.
