He has been on clopidogrel and aspirin combination for the past 5 years. according to match trial iam giving the reference below this combination does not offer any benefit for secondary prevention of stroke and is associated with increased risk of bleeding. Can you please take a second look at his medication. Thank youLancet. 2004 Jul 24-30;364(9431):331-7.
