Yes, I was put on this 3 months ago after HA and two stents...also lost weight and had dose halved....also got the bruising!! but that does seem to have gone down a bit since cutting dose....I think combination of this and asprin??..as only for a year not too bad. I did have a platelet blood test to check but everything was fine
