My father, who is 62 years old, had a brain stroke 3.5 years ago. He recovered well with minor consequences and he takes daily doses of plavix + aspirin (100mg). Two years ago, he operated an aneurisms of the abdominal aorta and one of the carotid arteries (it was 90% clogged). Both surgeries went well. The other carotid is 50% clogged and it was recommended not to be operated. Is there any harm taking Plavix and aspirin for such a long time? It seems that there is an insufficient data since Plavix is relatively new on the market. However, all opinions and experiences are welcome.
Thank you.
