Hi thank you for querry,
As you mentioned that you are taking clopidogrel once daily for heart problem.
As much side effects of clopidogrel is concerned arding GI tract,it causes nausea,diarrhea,abdominal pain,dyspepsia,Gi disurbances to Gi heamorrhage.
So these side effect are treated symptomatically.
For bloating,dyspepsia you can take Antacid like proton pump inhibitors but require close monitoring interaction with clopidogril so i advise
Syp.Sucralfate 1g/5ml,2TSF twice daily.
Hope the answer will help you to asses your condition.
wish you a good health.
