Warfarin (coumadin): Because of the increased risk of bleeding, the concomitant administration of Warfarin with Plavix should be undertaken with caution. (See PRECAUTIONS - General.)
At high concentrations in vitro, clopidogrel inhibits P450 (C).
Always consult with your local Pharmacist on drug interactions and side effects, they are your experts. Be sure to mention other medications too.
Although important interactions between clopidogrel and these drugs are unlikely, interactions should be looked for carefully.
You should consult your doctor to insure the degree of blood thinning is within specification with INR. There is a risk of excessive bleeding, and a question would be does the proposed benefit out weigh the risk of excessive bleeding.
Just another perspective for a dotor to consider and you should be aware.
Plavix will be quite costly for us on a fixed income. Can coumadin (warfarin) be substituted for plavix?
I would suggest asking your doctor or pharmacist about the drug interactions and side effcts. You can also go the the plavix website and ask them for a fact sheet that would have the side effect listed.
I've followed this research, and from what I've learned the drug interaction of Plavix and PPI's (proton pump inhibitors) is not not that strong. I doubted the report from the start as I took Plavix and PPI's and my blood was as thin as tea, I bruised very, very easily, and the blood tests to determine my clotting factor wasn't changed by taking the two drugs.
After getting two stents I was put on plavix. I also have gerds and would like to know what medecine I cantake for it tht doesnt conflict with plavix.
I stopped Plavix - 3 days later ALT 124, AST 21. Before Plavix ALT 14, AST 18, platelets 281K. PCP dx is drug-induced hepatitis due to Plavix. While I agree Plavix caused me problems, my RUQ episode was textbook biliary colic. 4 years ago after pregnancy I had a week of clay-colored stools and RUQ pain after eating potato chips. No labs were done and US found no stones. I avoided fatty foods for years and had no other problems until now.
This morning the pain is still there as is some slight nausea though I was able to eat something. Does anyone know of drug interactions between Anacin and Progesterone? Is there something else it could be?
There're few web sites that shows "drug interactions", and "drug/herb/food interactions" ...do a search online for words in " ",I am sure you'll find your answers.....if not, please feel free to message me and I'll send you a link.
