Dangerous New Drug Interaction Discovered
The experts are now warning people who are taking the blood thinner Plavix from also taking the heartburn medication Prilosec. The two are often taken together because the blood thinning medication can upset the stomach. However now researchers have found that if you take Prilosec it can cut the effectiveness of Plavix in half, which can be very dangerous for those taking it.
I know that when my mother was taking it, it was very difficult for her doctors to get just the right dosage for her and she had to be tested for those levels often, so anything that will interfere with the blood thinner would have just further complicated matters and put her further at risk.
Talk it over with your Doctor. They say that there are alternatives you can take that won’t interfere as there are also other medications that will.
