Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that plavix is necessary before the coronary stent implantation.

This is not a surgical procedure, and plavix is part of the preparation for this procedure.

Regarding Prozac, it may interact with Plavix and increase its effects.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
