Does anyone know what to take for an alternative to Aggrenox? I had a TIA almost 4 years ago and was put on Aggrenox, well, my husband will be losing his job in a week due to the economy which also means we will be losing our health insurance as well. I asked my doctor if he could take me off it and put me on something else and all he said was he would prefer I stayed on Aggrenox. I don't think we can afford it because it is $305 for a month supply!
Aggrenox does have aspirin in it. It is recommended for strokes, as you already know. I'm not sure why the Dr has taken away the Aggrenox. Maybe he feels that taking aspirin is equivalent with less side effects? Aspirin does work well to help prevent stokes and heart attacks. So, there was no reason given for the change?
I was put on Aggrenox/Aspirin after my stroke about 2 months ago. Does anyone on the same treatment take any kind of Vitamins/Herbs with this medication?
I've found that Aggrenox seems to work without side effects. It's primarily baby aspirin, but also contains a drug that prevents platelets from sticking together. I've taken it twice a day since my stroke, and it appears to work, but who ever knows?
t find them particulaly helpful. My class just covered what I had already read in the 1 pregnancy book I bought so I talked to the instructor and stopped going.
to Mayo and with all saying the same its still not sinking into this head... there is no fix... He has been sent home on a blood thinner (aggrenox) as to not thin the blood to much... With a healthy heart pumping against a 20% opening (when last tested)... So at night he is on oxgen to slow down the heart at night, for the heart pumps harder as ones breathing slows as we sleep... We live 30 mins from the closest hospital which isn't set up to handle this so life fight is another step...
I take 16 or 17 medications including the all inclusive plavix. a 3.25 aspiriin. AGGRENOX,Zocor,and a host of others.I watch my diet and exercise until it hurts to prove to my Dr. that I'm not just lying around. With your "scientific ' MINDS can you help?
In June '08 I was sitting watching TV when my left side from my head down to my leg became stiff and numb. Went to the ER and checked by 5 neuronogists, had scans, MRI & other tests. Their consensus was a brain event in the rt. thalemus. For 2 & 1/2 yrs I was living with a 5 out of 10 sensation but last Dec. '10 as I was having dinner, the sensation became worse like an 8 out of 10 and I'm having increased trouble moving my whole left side.
you MUST contact your prescribing dr to get approval to stop this medication. Aggrenox, Plavix, and Aspirin must be discontinued for 7 days prior to injection and Ticlid 14 days prior to injection. Coumadin should be discontinued 3-4 days prior to injection and you will need to have blood work completed within 24 hours prior to procedure.
drink 1-2 full cups water 60 minutes prior to injection. eat a LIGHT meal.
FTM as well, I'm taking classes, the natural birthing class, breastfeeding and New parents class.
Did you still go to birthing class even though you were having a scheduled c section? I just wanna know if I should go or would it be a waste of time/money.
Often children who use these methods of diversion are trying "to cover up" that they are unable to do the class work. Have you discussed this possibility with his teacher?
Can you go by yourself to a childbirth class? My hubby would go.but if he takes off a Saturday he's losing 150$ off his paycheck. Money we need right now. The class said per couple so I was assuming you'd need to go with a partner. I do not have anybody that's close like that to go with me either. I have way more acquaintances then actual friends right now.
So u feel stupid asking this but I want to go to a birthing class and it said to bring 2 birthing pillows.
I'm going to take a breastfeeding class and the pregnancy class. I'm a FTM and neither of us (husband and I) have been around young children or in the L&D section of the hospital. So even if i don't get a tun of info, I feel any is better than none. But then again we are the kinda people that are always over prepared.
Is there a class action suit pending or being organized against manufactuers of ReStor IOL multifocal lenses?
Random question starts with some rambling but I'll get to the point soon I promise. I'm a first time mom and I'm 36 weeks pregnant and 5 days. I'm due December 25. So today I went to my first birthing class and I brought a list of questions which the instructor answered everything. I'm the only woman in the class that is due this month the others are due in January and February.
