Hi, I've been lansoprosol and Aspirin for 19 years. No side effects but everyone is an individual. Don't know what clopid ogrel? But I'm on 2 doses a day for bisoprosol. Beta Blocker. Lansopersole is the best for any acid reflux. If that helps. Have a good day 😎😎

Until my recent amputation I was on Aspirin and Omeprazole. When the vascular surgeon added Clopidogrel to the mix my Omeprazole was changed to Lansoprazole. Apparently it is felt that this is the better PPI (proton pump inhibitor) with the other two drugs.

I am also on the lowest possible doses of Bisoprolol and Lisinopril, and 40mg Atorvastatin (my liver cannot tolerate 80mg - I suspect my student days 🍻🍻🍻🍻!).

I was taking Clopidogrel and aspirin and Lansoprozale all together until they took me off clopidogrel and aspirin, still take Lansoprozale

The funny thing is previous I’d taken aspirin for 24 years with nothing to protect my stomache

Yeh is a bit strange i been taking aspirin and clopidogrel together for a while and now they tell me 4 months later. When i questioned it i was told that the hospital "should have" told me.

After my HA and stent op in February 2020 I was put on Lansoprazole, Aspirin and Clopidogrel (plus other medication). I have stopped taking Aspirin but am still on the other meds. No bad side effects thankfully.

YOu will be on clopidogrel for a year to thin your blood and stop the stents from blocking. I started on ticagrelor but it had to be changed to clopidogrel. Both aspirin and clopidogrel can irritate your stomach so you need the lansop for protection. When the clopidogrel is stopped, you will probably have to stay on the lansoprazole and aspirin.
