For those OSArs on blood thinners..

The doctor put me n Plavix for about six months after my stents were put in. That was ten or twelve years ago.

Fortunately I have been very healthy most of my life for an old guy, but wondering does anyone take plane old aspirin any more. It seems to work for me if I need something.

I take 81mg every day, but that is just to help prevent strokes and heart attacks. Doc recommended it a few years back.

I'm up to around 10 stents (lost count) and on Plavix and 325 mg aspirin....forever

I had a blood clot in my leg head on up to my lungs earlier this year, scary deal. (before the vax retards respond it was found to be genetic and it does run in my family) So..... I'm on Eliquis. I pushed my doc about Ibuprofen and he said just be careful and occasional use only. Otherwise, Tylenol, which doesn't really work well for me.

So your ancestors traveled through time, got the vax, traveled back and caused this genetic issue. That sucks!

Jokes aside, yuck, that’s very scary deal.

FYI, for those on Eliquis, you can go to their website and sign up for a coupon card that is good for 2 years and it works at any pharmacy and will cost you a whopping $10 with each refill. I was paying $45 after insurance and then last year my insurance sent me a notice that they would no longer cover that drug.
I didnt sign up online, I called and did it.

You are correct. Otherwise it's ~$500 out of pocket.....if it's not covered.

I do Eliquis too with baby aspirin due to two strokes….
i bruise easily but am still stroke free…..

 

[forindooruseonly]

I'm 45, relatively healthy, and have had two strokes. I will be on eliquis for the rest of my life which sucks, but less sucky than having a third stroke.

In response to the question, that is best asked by the doctor who proscribed you blood thinners.

I'm on Medicare & a supplement. It's $45 a month til about July each year when I fall into the "donut hole", and then it's $142 a month til the end of the year...Gettin old isn't for sissies! lol

Me, over 60, been prescribed 2 meds which I don't take. The stubborn donkey I am had me search out holistic remedies. I watch my fare share of motovationaldoc and the likes on yt. I've changed my diet to some extent and make some wild concoctions which are said to benefit my high mileage engine.

I've been on Xarelto for a year now and was told to take Tylenol.
