Hi, Margaret. I take Plavix daily. I had quadruple bypass heart surgery 7 1/2 years ago, but was not put on Plavix until recent years. I began having easy bleeding from scratches and cuts, like you would expect with a blood thinner. The cardio took me off the Plavix and put me on baby aspirin.
Well, two things happened to change that. First, I began having urinary bleeding, which was attributed to prostate radiation (I had it twice for cancer). Aspirin aggrevated the healing, so I had to go off the aspirin. Then, I had a stent put in the first of April, and was put back on Plavix. I have not had any problem with it this time. Go figure.
Good luck. Don
