A member asked:
My elderly father needs a tooth extracted. he is on xarelto and plavix and aspirin . he consulted with his cardiologist and his neurologist. they give totally different instructions on holding the meds. who should he listen to?

Your father is taking multiple meds to prevent clotting. We cannot advise you on who to listen to, you'll need to have these two physicians explain their reasoning. An oral surgeon can also be included in the discussion.
