Can Plavix Cause Itchiness?

I itch all over. It does not seem to be caused by things touching the skin. Instead, it seems to be systemic. After s cardiac stent procedure a couple of years ago, I was required to take Plavix for a year. The itching started then, but never went away after discontinuing the Plavix.

Yes, Plavix has some unintended adverse effects that warrant a degree of caution when taking the drug. Taking Plavix can commonly lead to bleeding and itchy skin.
