Clopidogrel which is given with aspirin for post plasty pt, has its absorption decreased with prevacid, which may lead to stent rethrombosis. However is gastritis is a problem, take pantoprazole /esomeprazole 15 mins before breakfast instead of lansoprazole (similar drug), also taking aspirin with food will decrease it's side effects
