Plavix keeps platelets from sticking together(blood clots). He is preventing you from a stroke or heart attack. My doctor put me on aspirin after my bypass surgery 15 years ago and I'm still on it and also on Eliquis blood thinner. Keep taking it unless your physician says otherwise.

Thanks. I cannot take aspirin so maybe that is why I am on it.

I've been on plavix for about 10 years.

I don't think the doctors care. There's no money in it for anyone to cut back is there?
