Plagrol: For How Long Do I Have To Take This

I had one stent in Sept 2014. Do I still have to take Plagrol?

Hello, Cecile! How are you?

If you had to have a stent placed, then there's a chance you may need to take something for life to help prevent clots.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Plagrol (Clopidogrel) as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and constipation.

There's no way to say for sure, but you should take it, if your doctor says it's needed. It is no different than anyone else taking medications for high blood pressure or other cardiac conditions.

Is there anything else I can help with?
