Can I take plavix with ITP? was created by MariLinTx
My cardiologist wants to start me on PLAVIX because my cardiac calcium score came back very high. He knows I have ITP. Doptelet seems to be working but won’t Plavix and Doptelet just cancel each other out? I have called my hematologist but haven’t heard back yet. Thanks in advance.

Why don't you have your cardiologist and your hematologist get together to discuss what is best for you?!
When I was diagnosed with Graves Disease I had my endocrinologist get with my hematologist & they decided the one treatment for Graves would most likely lower my platelet count so we went with a different treatment.   I'm now with an HMO and that makes it very easy for my many specialists to get together to discuss me.  It is ok to ask one specialist/doctor to talk with another specialist/doctor - in fact it is a good idea!

Good luck!!
