Clopidogrel And Atorvastatin

Updated

I've been on 75mg Clopidogrel daily for the past month. My hair is falling out at an alarming rate, losing appetite/weight. Clopidogrel replaced the Plavix I was taking since last august. Help!

Have you consulted your doctor?

This isn't a known side effect of Clopidogrel and you should consult your doctor to get a better idea of what's causing it and a possible solution.

I have been on the generic Plavix (clopidogrel) for about three months and my hair is also coming out by the handsful.

I've been on a daily dose of Clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 325mg for two months now, and have noticed general thinning and hairloss, particularly one 5''x 5'' spot on the left side of my head. Starts on top and goes down the side of my head around my left ear. I've noticed other side effects too. Hopefully all this will go away when I get off this miserable stuff next month!

Hello, I am 42 and started Clopidogrel 10 months ago. I started losing hair after 6 months, or At least this is when I noticed. As I have lots of hair and tick I did not notice before. But then I realise how much. Just putting my hand through my hair I would collect an handful. The doctors said it coul not be Colpidogrel. I stopped taking it 1and half month ago and it looks like I am losing a lot less and only when I do the blow dry. I hope it is the end. But will it grow back? It s awful and I wished I connected the two things earlier.

Hello, I am 63 years old. I had one blockage & underwent angioplasty in Feb. 2016. I was given ceruvin 75 (2 tablets), 150 mg of aspirin. I am also taking 1000 mg per day of Metformin for diabetes & Aprovel 150 mg & Concor 5 mg for blood pressure & heart. Zocor for cholesterol. When I started bleeding in the nose, when I blew the nose, doctor told me to take only 1 ceruvin 75 which I am doing. Recently I had a bruise (I don't think I got hurt), went to doctor, and she advised to reduce the aspirin dose to 75 or 81 mg. The bruise went off in one week, but now I have bruise on my arm. I don't think I got hurt.

Please advise as I am worried. Thank you in advance.

I was diagnosed with suspected tia. My medication for this is atorvastatin and clopidogrel, which results in severe dizziness, whereas I sometimes have to walk upstairs on all fours.
