Bruising while on Clopidogrel

[JohnKettleyIsAWeathermanAndSoIsMichaelFish]

Is anyone else taking Clopidogrel and bruising badly? I knew it was a side effect but I wasn't expecting such bad unexpected bruising where I don't even remember bumping into stuff! Is there anything I can do to minimise it? (other than wrapping myself in cotton wool!)

Hi

i'm on it too (2-3 months) but no I've not noticed any bruising really. I had a bruise on my left boob that I couldn't remember anything that would cause it, but that's the only one I can think of.

I guess we all react differently and the only thing you can do is contact your GP. To see if they think you need to do anything about it.

I'm on it and 75 aspirin. Yes I bruise easily.
