Is Missing Few Dosages Of Blood Thinner Medication By A Stroke Victim A Concern?
I was giving my dad clopidogrel and ran out last thursday. I thought it was his oxibutynin so didn t worry about refilling because we were out of town. However, I realized tonight it was his blood thinner I was out of not his oxibutynin... He has been a stroke victim so I m worried he might have another stroke without the blood thinner. I sent my husband to get the medication.... should I just give him 1 pill or start him with 2?

Is Missing Few Dosages Of Blood Thinner Medication By A Stroke Victim A Concern?
Hi, You have missed the anticoagulant therapy for some days so the risk of stroke is increased. Unfortunately you can t do anything for that. You can start giving him two tables as soon as you can. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
