My husband has been taking Plavix and baby aspirin for four years. He had stents put in in 2005 and 2010. In 2010 his platelet count began decreasing. Right now it is about 74,000. I am concerned. We have seen a hemotologist and so far just testing his blood and we have stopped taking Plavix.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Do not stop Plavix.2. Platelet count of 74000 is not to be worried about. Any count above 20000-30000 is good.3. After stent, need to continue with Plavix and baby aspirin. Otherwise, risk of thrombus formation is high.4. Continue with It B12 supplements, it could help in improving platelet count. Continue Plavix, not to worry. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
