Question:
Can Effient affect menstrual bleeding?
I am taking Effient after a recent heart attack. I am now experiencing between period bleeding, a lot of bleeding. Should I be worried?

1) Do NOT stop the Effient until OK’d by the cardiologist.
2) I’d check with the gynecologist straight away, as “a lot” of vaginal bleeding is abnormal, whether one is taking a drug like Effient or not.
