Problem Taking Plavix

My mother suffers from dementia after a stroke 3 months ago. She now has a problem swallowing Plavix. What can I do? Can it be powdered and mixed with something palatable?

Hi, Audrey! How are you? Sorry about the problems with your mom.

As to the Plavix, you can crush and do that with any medication that isn't time released. So if isn't marked as being time released and there are no instructions on it stating that you shouldn't crush, break or chew it, then it should be okay. But since I am not familiar with all the formulations of medications where you live, I do want you to check with your pharmacist/chemist before doing it.

Are there any other questions or comments?
