aggrenox used for

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?

Hi Linda, The lupus anticoagulants usually interfere with blood clotting and are also factors for thrombosis. Patients with a lupus anticoagulant are prone to excess bleeding, repeated miscarriages, thrombosis and strokes. Patients with a lupus anticoagulant that presents atleast twice and a history of thrombosis should be given indefinite treatment with anticoagulants. Thrombosis can be prevented with heparin administration and treated with heparin and warfarin.

I have been taking a baby aspirin for some years and subsequently had a stroke/ruptured aneurysm and TIA recently. The doctor prescribed Aggrenox and I take it twice a day.

Does anyone take vitamins/herbs with aggrenox and aspirin?

NOw on Aggrenox and off Effient but on all the other same meds Additional info: Since Jan, I quit smoking, lost 45 lbs, lowered LDL by 300 points (to 127) and raised HDL by 25 pts(to 40) lowered triglic to 70. what the heck?

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.

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!.

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?

m not sure if she used a new condom(I was drunk).The place were this happened (a small alley) is known for not that being to careful about hygene.Also for financial reasons they often use condoms(for blowjobs) more then once. Well,I'm just scared that the condom she put on me was already used and the chance for me contracting hiv if this was previously used by an hiv positive man.I never came but had plenty of precum if that might help for information).

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.

THE BACK ONES ARE NOW DOING WHAT THE FRONT ARTERIES ARE SUPPOSE TO BE DOING BUT THEY ARE ALSO HALF BLOCKED. ALSO HE IS BLOCKED IN BOTH LEGS. THE DR SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR HIM BECAUSE IF HE WENT UNDER THE CHANCE OF HIM MAKING IT THROUGH SUREGY WERE SLIM. THEY ALSO TOLD HIM IF AND WHEN HE HAS A STROKE THAT IT WOULD NOT BE A MILD ONE. SO MY QUESTION IS TO YOU IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE HE CAN DO TO HELP HIS SITUATION.

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.

Thanks for your feedback. To my first responder I had a clot with no bleed and to the second I'm on aggrenox twice a day.

Since the strokes, the migraines are almost a daily occurrence (although he does take propranolol as a preventative med for them), he cannot tolerate the CPAP( we have had additional sleep studies and made changes to the CPAP without any improvement).

Can I take DGL and/or digestive enzymes daily for years or indefinitely? If not, what is the maximum time recommended for treatment? Should I take them for a while, then give the body a DGL/enzyme vacation for a period of time and then resume?

I don't know anything about google maps being used for scams but I can guarantee they will be using it to increase property taxes. We googled our address and the giant koi pond, 2 new run-ins for the horses and his new unfinished garage are there as plain as day. And there are cameras popping up everywhere that can use facial recognition for law enforcement purposes.
