A member asked:

Are high dose h2 blockers a safe alternative when taking plavix ? are they better than ppis for uncomplicated gerd? high risk clotting patients?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I could find no interactions between plavix&pepcid, but certain PPIs reduce the anticlotting effect of plavix. Protonix and prevacid were preferred by the manufacturer of plavix.
