Does Plavix Cause Easy Bruising And Bleeding?
I had a heartache 6 years ago and take plavix as well as other medications. Initially, I bruised easily, but now my hands bleed easily from minor injuries or I easily bleed under my skin just from scratching. Is this a side effect of taking these meds?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it is the side effect of Plagerine.
You may also be taking aspirin .
Please undergo test called INR to asses clotting status.
Also undergo tests as BT and CT.
It should be between 2 to 3.
You should request your doctor to adjust dosages according to lab reports
With Regards
