 Re: plavix and MURs
With clopridogrel, it is one of those items that you need to know what the patient is being treated for and under what circumstances. If the patient has had a stent fitted, but the cardiologist had trouble placing it and it is at a bit of an odd angle in the lumen, the patient may need to be on clopridogrel for a lot longer...
Peripheral vascular disease is another indication for life-long (or limb-long!) therapy if the patient cannot tolerate warfarin.
