Hello and welcome to the forum! I am on Clopidogrel for PAD (peripheral arterial disease) the complications of which recently cost me my lower left leg (this also happened to Johnny Cash and Jan-Michael Vincent (who starred in Big Wednesday and Airwolf). The main side effect of clopidogrel is bleeding more easily than normal. This may cause nosebleeds, heavier periods, bleeding gums or bruising. You don't give any background so it makes it difficult to add more. If it becomes problematical you need to consult your GP, cardiologist or vascular surgeon. Why not introduce yourself or expand your profile?
