As I have posted before, long term use of coumadin (wayfarin) has potential negative side effects. I will continue to manage my chronic blood clot with enzymes, natto kinase, ginkgo and fish oil until a better therapy comes along. David
"Prasugrel's theoretical advantage is that it could block blood fragments called platelets from clotting more aggressively than existing therapies, which include Plavix and aspirin. The drug could work for patients who resist Plavix for some reason or could work more quickly in acute situations. The suspended studies were looking at what levels of prasugrel and Plavix block platelets from clumping together..."
"But the risk is also high. Drugs such as prasugrel and Plavix can cause excessive bleeding in patients. This can trigger minor inconveniences such as bruising but is a more serious liability in heart patients who quickly need surgery. The concern that has hung over prasugrel is whether its more aggressive action could put patients at greater risk for bleeding."
