Hi Ian

I take Clopidogrel which is another version I believe and I take 75mg once a day

One of the side effects I get is feeling a little breathless. Certainly not gasping breathless but more like on a plane at 40,000 feet and can’t quite get enough oxygen breathless if that makes sense

I had it with Tricagleor also but was switched to Clopidogrel

Not sure if that helps at all

Ok doesn’t sound that great. I’m on 10mg efient and get really fatigued. But it doesn’t help being on Bisoprolol also which can have the same effect.

That’s fantastic I also take aspirin and Bisoprolol and ramipril and lansopzole. I tend to feel quite fatigued. But could be any of the tablets as I seem to have side effects to most tablets
