Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Prasugrel is a platelet inhibitor.Ecosprin is also anti-platelet drug, used after angioplasty. Dual anti-platelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding. since you are bleeding from nose as well as from mouth you need to stop these drugs for 7 days and then restart only one,preferably ecosprin.
Platelets have a life span of 8 to 10 days normally in body.
