Hi

Does anyone know which of these is worse for bruising/bleeding?

My cardiologist has swapped me from Prasugrel without my knowledge!

Thanks 👍🏻

I am on Clopidogrel, I do bruise easily but better that another heart attack.

True. I do on Prasugrel but would prefer to stay on that as the cardiologist didn’t discuss the change with me.

Thanks for replying 👍🏻

Mt Cardiologist told me that Clopidogrel was the best.
