Will Administering Clopidogrel With Aspirin Have A High Risk Of Coronary Deaths?

Dear Dr, I am in a quandry. Recently I had very very mild changes in my cardiogram. The doctor prescribed me deplat CV - which has clopidogrel bisulphate 75 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg and aspirin 75 mg. He has also given nitroglycerin half morning, half afternoon. I read from google, administering clopidogrel with aspirin has added to risk of coronary deaths. We cannot discontinue also clopidogrel or aspirin therapy suddenly. If I reduce it to half the dose by separately buying clopidogrel and ecosprin, can it save me from above danger. I am caught between devil and deep sea. Can you help me ? My job is not strenuous. S P Iyer

Hello.The combination of aspirin and clopidogrel for one year after suffering a coronary syndrome is right according to Clinical Practice Guides. The association of aspirin and clopidogrel does not increase the risk of coronary deaths, there is a slight increased risk of bleeding,it is recommended add a gastric protector as Lansoprazole or Pantoprazole.
I wish you good health.
