Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Bruising can be a side effect of clopidogrel (plavix). But don't stop or change the medicine with out your doctors consent.Discuss this with your doctor.Victoza helps in loosing weight.But you need to use it for a long term with a proper follow up.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
