Plavix Side Effect

[RonC32]

On the 2nd or 3rd day after having stents placed and beginning to take Plavix, I started itching on my chest.  By the 5th day, this itching had spread all over my upper body.  I am taking benadryl along with the Plavix now and it gives some relief.

The question is, can I expect my body to adjust to the Plavix and eventually the itching will go away?

Thank you

I was searching site I am on Plavix also and I am itching all over. I am thankful that I found your post. I will be asking the doctor if their is a replacement for Plavix. I have been on it for about a month after having my heart attack and I am miserable

Hello , I am on Plavix too and having read the leaflet I see rash and itching is among possible side effects.
Have you been back to your Doctor and mentioned this problem ? It may be worth it to put your mind at ease. :-)
