Is Wine Advisable While On Clopidogrel Bisulfate For Low Blood Pressure?
I just had a stent and balloon angiogram for a leg injury. I was never on meds and have a low blood pressure reading. I was prescribed one 75 mg of Clopidogrel Bisulfate daily for 12 months. I am not a drinker or smoker; however, I do like red or white wine during the Holidays or on a weekend. Can I have a glass of wine or two?

Hi, i do care for your concern.
1)The alcohol containing drugs are not advised while you are on anti platelet drugs.
2)The adverse effects of the alcohol is far greater than the good effect.
3)This may significantly alter the cholesterol levels.
4)The alcohol may interfere with metabolism of drug and cause failure of effects of drugs.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
