Clopidogrel And Atorvastatin

I've been on 75mg Clopidogrel daily for the past month. My hair is falling out at an alarming rate, losing appetite/weight. Clopidogrel replaced the Plavix I was taking since last august. Help! ## Have you consulted your doctor? This isn't a known side effect of Clopidogrel and you should consult your doctor to get a better idea of what's causing it and a possible solution. ## I have been on the generic Plavix (clopidogrel) for about three months and my hair is also coming out by the handsful. ## On clopidogrel for over a month and my hair is falling out!

Can I take atorvastatin in the morning with clopidogrel ## Hello, Geoff! How are you? That should be fine, if they've both been prescribed for you. However, as reported by the U.S. FDA, you may experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness than usual. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No thanks you have been very helpful

CAN I USE VIAGRA WHILE TAKING CLOPIDOGREL, LISINOPRIL, METOPROLOL, AND ATORVASTATIN ## Hello, John! How are you? If you have a heart and/or blood pressure condition, you need to check with your doctor, before taking Viagra or any of the other ED medications. They work by increasing blood flow, which can lower blood pressure even more. Thus, whether or not you can safely take it is going to depend on what your current levels are and how sensitive you are to such medications. Your dosage may need to be carefully adjusted, by your doctor. Learn more Viagra details here.

I have been taking clopidogrel 75mg + atorvastatin 10mg + metoprolol 10mg + telmisartan 40mg for the past 3 years since the date of my Bypass surgery. My doctor told me to use them life long, but are there any adverse effects that come with long term use? ## Hello, Krishna! How are you? To be quite honest and upfront, it is far more risky for you to stop taking them, if you have a heart condition, or high blood pressure. There are risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, according to NIH reports, but untreated high blood pressure, or heart issues could be fatal. Have you experienced any issues?

56 YO Male, taking this after a stint. I also take Atenolol, 100mg daily, Losartan 100mg 2x daily and Clopidogrel 75mg daily. Since the stint and the new meds, I am constantly dizzy. I do not believe the stint has anything to do with it, since it saved my life. I have read blogs where people feel uncomfortable with this "metal thing" in their body. I have no such feelings, I am eternally grateful for the "metal thing" and the miracle surgeons that put it there and saved my life. But back to my dizziness. Any suggestions?? ## It's difficult to say, because all of the medications you're taking have the potential to cause dizziness and it's possible that it's compounded due to that fact. The blood pressure/cardiac medications, Atenolol and Losartan also have...

Hi. I'm 75 years old. My cardiologist prescribed Deplatt Cv (Ecosprin 75 mg, Atorvastatin 10 mg, and Clopidogrel 75 mg) and I have been taking it since May of this year. Actually, i was diagnosed with Transient Ischemia in the year 1977. Initially for about 35 years I was taking ASA 50 (acetylsalicylic acid) and then from 2005 to 2017 (April), Ecosprin AV 75 mg. Now I am taking Deplatt Cv. I would like to undergo cataract removal in November and I would like to know how many days beforehand do I have to stop taking this drug and when to start it back up after the operation? Actually, I am a little bit scared to take this Clopdogrel. I wish to know, is it safe to take? No severe side effects? Kindly advise. ## That is entirely up to your surgeon, it can vary from a week, two weeks, i...

I received a Lipitor 80mg pill, large white round and fairly flat, with "R" on one side and 196 on the other. Since it is different from the one I had been taking, I wanted to be sure it was the correct medicine. What do those markings mean? Is this just the same medicine from another pharmacy? ## Actually, the tablet that meets this description with the R 196 marking is listed as containing 75mgs of Clopidogrel, which is used to prevent blood clotting. Learn more Clopidogrel details here. It is not Lipitor or the generic for it, which is Atorvastatin. Learn more Lipitor details here. Did you get this as a prescription from your pharmacy? If so, you need to contact them immediately.

Earlier I was advised to take Ecosprin AV150 and I am taking the medicine for over 9 years. Now I am advised by the doctor to change it to Clopitab A75.As such I am not having colostral. Kindly let me know the difference between Clopitab A 75 and Ecosprin AV 150. The same was advised when I visited the doctor for a routine check-up and informed the doctor that nowadays I am very weak. Kindly advice. Thank you ## Ecosprin AV contains Aspirin and Atorvastatin, while Clopitab A contains Aspirin and Clopidogrel, so yes, it does lack the medication that helps lower cholesterol. However, if your doctor has advised you to switch, due to the weakness you are feeling, then you should follow their instructions. Atorvastatin has been known to cause weakness in some people that take it. Clopitab A ...

I am taking Metroprolol (minax 50) half a tablet twice a day and have been on them since having a stent in July 13.

I am also on Clopidogrel 75, Alorvastating 80mg and 100 mg Aspirin a day. ## Hello, Suzanne! How are you? The Metoprolol can cause more frequent urination, but it's usually not that extreme.
