Clopidogeral

[Rosei]

Eighteen months ago i had a heart attack, I was prescribed Ticagrelor, Aspirin, Bisoperol, Candasartan, at the end of the first year I was taken off Ticagrelor and left on Aspirin, I then had a dreadful reaction to Aspirin, ended up in hospital and after the usual invasive procedures ( Gastroscopy, CT scan, and finally a Colonoscopy, the result was Lymphocytic Colitis, never to take antinflametries again.

I have been on Clopidogrel since then, now I have started with indigestion again, is there any reason why I can't go on Ticagrelor again????

Read the leaflet that came with your Clopidogrel. Is indigestion listed as a possible side effect? I think you should talk to your doctor.

Thanks for the reply, looks like I will have to resort to a Doctor. Clopidogrel does mention indigestion.

Thanks for your post. Sorry I have no advice but I have been taking Clopidogrel since Jan 2017 after a stroke and have had terrible acid reflux I never put these things together. I’ll need to rethink my medication. Thanks.

Heather, thank you for your comment. I have seen a Doctor, he has written a different plan, take one Ranitidine in the morning and two at two, Peptac after every meal. Today I haven't taken a Clopidogrel ( not recommended ) and so far my indigestion has improved. I don't want my problem to be Clopidogrel, but it certainly seems suspicious.
