Effectiveness and Safety of Clopidogrel vs Aspirin in Elderly Patients With Ischemic Stroke https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(22)00069-6/fulltext
Clopidogrel Superior to Aspirin for Long-Term Post-Stent Maintenance https://www.acc.org/about-acc/press-releases/2021/05/15/21/36/clopidogrel-superior-to-aspirin-for-long-term-post-stent-maintenance
I would not replace Plavix with baby aspirin without speaking to the patient's cardiologist.
All blood thinners don't act in the same way. Folks with artificial valves, for example, CANNOT take Plavix: the MUST take Warfarin. Baby aspirin is not a substitute in that situation either.
Is this a matter of the patient ran out, cannot afford the prescription meds or what?
There is no longer any such medication as "baby" aspirin. They stopped giving aspirin to under 16s more than 35 years ago because it was shown that it can cause Reye Syndrome in babies and young children - yet another case of a statistically important risk causing needless nuisance to the majority who are not vulnerable and were absolutely fine with aspirin. As the mother at that time of a toddler with recurrent tonsillitis who didn't respond anything like as well to Calpol I was livid.
Anyway. What do you mean, how do they compare in effectiveness? Depends what you're trying to achieve and what you're trying to avoid. I have to say it sounds, as far as I know, an *unusual* decision on the part of your average medic to replace Clopidogrel with 75mg enteric coated or soluble aspirin but there may be very good reasons for it. I know for example that you have to stop Clopidogrel (or Cloppy Dog as it's known in nursing circles in their down time) two weeks before surgery. Is anything like that going on?
While there are effective fibrin busters that break up the non-mucoid biofilms throughout our bodies and can be equally as effective as any Rx for interrupting the 'coagulation cascade,' this substitution is not something that should ever be attempted for anyone with a serious medical condition that requires a prescription to manage. Very dangerous to not take a prescribed medications and the MD or Cardio should be informed.
Not taking a prescribed blood thinner, depending on the medical diagnosis, could have very serious results and cause great harm such as a stroke (a blood clot that has formed and broken loose) going to any part of the body, incl the heart, brain, or other blood vessels. A clot can grow larger in place and this can become very dangerous.
Advise speaking with the MD/Cardio/Neuro and informing of this quite radical change. If it's due to cost, advocate; every drug company has patient assistance programs that a person can be signed up for.
My husband takes one 81mg aspirin everyday. In 41 yrs of marriage he has suffered 4 bouts of AFib. No cause could be found. So Dr. Just recommended the aspirin.
I would not do anything without a Drs approval. Aspirin is a blood thinner. It also needs to be stopped if any surgery is to be done. As should be VitE and Fishoil.
