Does Taking Clopidogrel And Raloxifene Dangerous To Take In Combination?
I am taking clopidogrel after a recent heart attack (NSTEMI) and heart bypass surgery. I am also taking raloxifene, which has a possible side effect of blood clotting. Are these two medications dangerous to take in combination? I have stopped taking the raloxifene until I find out more information.

Hello,
Thank you for the query.
You are wright. I think it would be better to stop raloxifene. It is not because of the combination with clopidogrel, but because of the pro-coagulation status this medicine produces over time.
You have to consult your doctor to find a solution about this problem. I would not suggest to take raloxifene at least for one year after CABG.
