Coumadin vs. Plavix
by Kay0908, Mar 13, 2009 07:20PM
My dad had a stroke last Dec. They put him on 12 mg of Coumadin while in the hospital. He's in a nursing home and they want to change him to Plavix and asprin. People have scared us to death about bleeding to death with Coumadin and dad is thinking to changing to the Plavix and asprin. I'm concerned. Is the Plavix and asprin as effective as Coumadin. If they keep changing his medicine, I worry about another stroke. Should we get a second opinion? Should we take dad off Coumadin?

Plavix and Aspirin are an effective combo , there is some risk in taking any blood thinner medicine.
