Plavix Side Effect

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

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. :-)
