Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pletal is having cilastazol. It is not having any side effects of bleeding or constipation.
So your blood in stool is unlikely due to Pletal.
Since it is bright red blood, possibility of hemorrhoids bleeding is more likely.
So consult doctor and get done endoscopic examination of hemorrhoids.
You may need need surgical removal of hemorrhoids.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
