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?
Size exclusion chro-
matography (SEC) with the recombinant assembly domain (aa
1-149) of HBV core and electron microscopy (EM) was used
to study the effect of JNJ-379 on capsid assembly. Primary
human hepatocytes (PHH) were either treated with CAMs or
nucleos(t)ide analogs (Entecavir, Tenofovir) during or after HBV
infection. HBV DNA in the cell culture supernatant and intracel-
lular HBV RNA were monitored by quantitative real time PCR.
Leuprolide MOA: if you don´t have any more testicles and prostate, why keep using this drug in PCa?
Drink a lot of water??? What did she base that on??? Was she a MOA or a RN? It matters not, because getting the shot again will not harm you. It might make your wallet thinner. Stop worrying.
The common side effects of Savella are vomiting, hot flushes, increased heart rate, hypertension, dizziness etc.People already on MOA oxidase inhibitors, with narrow angle glaucoma,cardiac,liver and kidney disorders should not take Savella.If these symptoms are bothering you a lot seek medical help. Get your blood pressure checked. If your blood pressure is normal these effects may dissipate with time.
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?
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.
Well, some people do have a lower recurrence rate, but if aldara isn't working for you - and it might still be a bit early to know that - then it won't help recurrence rates.
I'm a fan of freezing them. It works MUCH faster, and while some people have to keep going back, others don't have to return at all.
Its your call. Perhaps a visit to an std clinic could help sort it all out for you.
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.

About 1-1/2 months ago he started experiencing mild itching on his legs and has now become chronic all over his body. Most of his meds have rash and itching side effects. Aggrenox was just changed to Plavix, but the itching has not stopped. 325mg of aspirin is also a future consideration as a blood thinner. He was given Ativan 0.5mg two days ago to stop the itching. The first night he practically scratched two wholes in his paralyzed arm.
Ok I know everyone asks these kids of questions but I have a bunch of symptoms.
So I have officially missed 4 periods now. I am fairly regular with potentially being late by a day or two but never missed. I thought it was off when I missed the first one, then when I missed the second went to the dr and had a neg pee test. Then the 3rd month I went again and had a blood test, the results came in and the moa told me "it looks all good"???
m on both of those meds, along with aggrenox, But I got caught up in looking for numbness when so many people died in my family, it's my own fault. It's my own wicked web I weave. I'm originally from Mich
I'm just afraid of what he will say I like & respect him a lot & he did not overprescribe, so I'm already anxious tapering.
The husband idea is an absolute no go unfortunately.
Very complicated.
Thank you for taking the time, and taking care of Michigan!.
s and a major stroke at 46 due to PFO and ASA and have been taking Aggrenox and Simvastatin since the event. I had infectious endocarditis (symptoms mimicked congestive heart failure) at 47 at MVP which has since calcified and since unknown source, had major anitbiotics covering every possibility for 2 months through a PIC line (vanc, gent, and 2 others) which resulted in kidney failure and creatinine now close to normal.
