In this study there were 7,764 emergency room visits among the
dual treated patient group and most of
those were for bleeding
though usually minor. There were 40,924 warfarin treated patients
for bleeding which were recorded for
context. Once again most of
this bleeding was also minor. The bleeding risk with warfarin is
rarely ignored while the risk for dual anti platelet therapy is
often down played or not recognized.
The authors of the
study also suggest that patients should be made aware of the risk
of
perscription
drug help for plavix but
generic
plavix sales that the risk is not a reason to abandon the
therapy. I obviously agree!
Both excellent and fairly
safe drugs if used as recommended. Not long ago it
what
is plavix treat fashionable to give patients both drugs for
added protection. Is that a good idea? Even though this approach
is still safer than warfarin which is also prescribed for several
cardiac problems, the risk needs to be recognized.
