Shepherd Philip Is anyone else taking a combination of Clopidogrel and Lansoprazole as part of your daily medication? I got a letter from my GP with a new perscription for Ranitidene 300 twice a day and stop taking Lanzoprazole as this effects the Clopidogrel just thought I would pass this on as I was at the Hospital this morning having my Coronary Rehab and this was news to the nurse as well,Better to be safe than sorry

I had an MI aged 54. I have heard that there is a possible link with with preeclampsia in pregnancy, and high blood pressure and heart conditions in middle age. Have any of you ladies had the same experience?? There is plenty of evidence on the net to corroborate these claims.
If so, shouldn't ladies in this position be classed as at risk. At least a conversation should take place, and preventative measures should be offered.
I believe if I had been aware of this I would have been able to make an informed choice of whether to take preventative medication or not. Too late for me, but not for others.
