Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was started on plavix as pre op for vascular surgery this coming Friday. Today I either missed a dose or took a double dose. I am experiencing drastic dizziness/balance issues..(walking into the wall). Should I make an emergency call to the physician now or wait until morning? Shall I stop taking pklavix?
please avoid taking double dose as our body is highly sensitive to these medicines after taking double dose, your feeling dizziness might be due to some blood pressure problems or may be due to hypoglycemia if you missed the dose, kindly consult to your physician first
