Question about Plavix (blood thinner)
Now that I now have a couple of stents I have recently been placed on Plavix by my cardiologist. ....stents require thinner and less coagulant blood.
After a couple of weeks I have none of the myriad of side effects listed for this medication.
The Plavix literature says to avoid alcohol. I will be asking the cardiologist about how stringent this "warning(?)" is when I see him next week.
I would dearly hate to have to not be able to have my wine with my meals. Or an occasional after dinner drink.
What have some of you that are on Plavix done about alcohol consumption?
