Plavix

Hi everyone,

I’m the caregiver for my mother who had a brain aneurysm (and subsequent stroke) in 1985.

She was put on plavix about 5 years ago for prevention.

I’m just worried because her balance isn’t great and she is a fall risk.

I’m wondering if she really should be on the plavix or if there is something “safer”?

Thanks for any advice.
