Can Plavix Be Taken Alternate Days After Having TURP?
Husband had TURP on 7/8/11 and had to be hospitalized several times afterwards because of bleeding. He takes Plavix and baby aspirin for 7 drug eluding heart stents put in on 1/14/10. Can you take Plavix every other day and still have it be effective in order for his prostate to heal?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Your doctor should determine the anticoagulant and antithrombotic therapy after surgeires and in most cases plavix should be discontinued for 2-3 days after surgery. It will not affect healing process.
