A member asked:
Is it possible to take clopidogrel for the rest of my life if i am 62 old i have hypertention and stable angina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: I know of many patients who have taken clopidogrel for more than 10 years, and they have done fine with it. I use long term clopidogrel in patients who have had many stents (say 4 or more), in patients who recieved the cypher type stent (higher tendency to clot), and also in patients who have a drug coated stent in a high risk location (left main artery or lad).
