Plavix Vs Clavix
Friday, 11/27/2009 5:56:35 PM in Plavix
Hi, my mother underwent an angioplasty last month and she is taking plavix and ecosprin along with other medicines. Now the doctor has suggested that we can start using clavix instead of plavix as plavix is very expensive.
But I'm sceptical about it and would like to know wether Clavix is really as good as Plavix.
Thanks,
Kris

Coumadin Vs Warfarin
Saturday, 9/26/2009 1:48:01 PM in Warfarin
My mom was on coumadin for many years but then her insurance company told her she had to take warfarin as this is the one they would pay for. Is there really any different in these two drugs? It seems to me that she has been having more problems with the warfarin (keeping this medication at the right level) than the coumadin. I was told they were the same medications and do the same. I just wanted to know if some people have difficulties taking warfarin vs coumadin??? Thanks.

Sintrom Dosage
Thursday, 8/6/2009 2:37:47 PM in Sintrom
I am 74 years old. I am using Sin trom about 2 years, after implementation of the Pacemaker due to arithima absoluta.
I have difficulties to maintain recomennded level of INR, between 2 and 3. During those 2 years I had tried with different dosage schedulle - changing dosage from 1 - 2 mg per day. For example: 2-2-2-1; 2-2-2-2-1; 2-1-2-1-2 etc. I have measured INR regularly at home with CoaguChek Roshe apparatus, or in professional labs, every week or more frequently depending on the oscilation of INR. Up to now I did not succseded to find proper dosage which can maintain INR in the range 2-3, nor can find reason for so unexpected oscilations in INR. No new medications, or life style changes have happened during this period.

I have been using clopidogrel 75mg+aspirin 75
combination since last 21 months on my doctors advise.As such I do not have any problem with the drugs,and I am feeling much better now.
I have been operated and CABG on LAD was done in the year 2000,and PTCA on LAD with stunt was done in 1999 which restenosed in six months.Another PTCA with stunt was done in Feb 2007 and I have no problem with that.
My question is that I am taking these drugs from Feb 2007.How long one can use them.
