Can Clopidogrel And Asprin Be Taken Together
There is a moderate risk - more possibility of Gastro-intestinal bleeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
These two medications are routinely used together for their additive antiplatelet, antistroke effect.
This combination though may cause unusual bleeding, severe abdominal pain, weakness, and the appearance of black, tarry stools. So caution is recommended, especially if you are at risk of bleeding (for example GI ulceration)
If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment.
You should also avoid any other over-the-counter NSAID products. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Regards,
