Answer 4

The plavix and Aspirin are a good idea after stent placement. The question is how long you should take Plavix along with aspirin. One of the many factors that affects the decision about duration is whether you have new drug-coated stents. A problem with new stents is:

Answer 5

You better be taking it or your next proceedure will be the hole in the ground deal! I have stents and my cardiologist tells me its's imperative on these new drug eluding stents to take Plavix for at least one year! (Stent Manufacturers suggested recommendation)
I take both 325mg aspirin and 75mg plavix. Plavix is very expensive but for the time being (until the law suits cease) you can get the generic for about one forth the cost! If you can't afford it talk to your doctor. He can contact the Bristol Myers Squibb representative and set you up for the one year free program if you meet their criteria. I did it with out any hastle. Drug company sends the pills to your doctor where you pick them up.

Answer 6

Yes, you should be taking these because they both serve to thin your blood and you had the stents place in youir cardiac arteries because your arteries were clogged and the stints just open the arteries - but does not solve the problem of why they clogged in the first place. You want to keep your blood thinner than it was...otherwise you will have cardiac arrest - or at least angina (chest pain) caused by lack of blood to heart muscle.

Answer 7

Absolutely. But why ask a bunch of strangers on the Internet such an important question about your own health? Please ask your doctor and keep asking questions about how these drugs affect your body and how long you should take them. Don't stop asking until you have the information you need.

I have no heart disease that I'm aware of, but I take an 81 mg dose of aspirin every day. My doctor recommended that I continue this therapy for life, as it has been shown to reduce the buildup of plaque in coronary arteries. I have not had any problems from taking this daily "low-dose" aspirin.

Answer 8

Before you buy any medication from an online pharmacy you should consider doing some inquiry on the company first. You only get inadequate information from those pharmacies that can't be trusted. You should be able to get enough and convincing information after searching from search engines such as Google and from lists of legit directory of Pharmacies. As those that get defrauded commonly release something over the internet to warn others. You need to find comfort from trusting an online pharmacy before placing an order. Follow pharmacies that are accredited by the VIPPS or Vet-VIPPS programs without prescription. According to online pharmacy reviewer, here are some reliable sources:

Answer 9

oh yes, your doctor may stop plavix in a few more months but aspirin use is life long. Expect bruising and bleeding issues but it will definitely save heart attacks, good luck

Answer 10

yes you need to continue takeing them, even though you did not have a heart attack. they are blood thinners and they keep your blood from clotting around the stints in return causeing a heart attack or worse death. the blood has to run smoothly and it needs the thinners to do so
