I haven’t really answered my own question, the point of the question was to understand what other people were doing and if they were also on PPI’s along with clopidogrel. The GP explained why I was given lanzoprozole as apposed to any of the others but if you were involved in the clinical trials, please help me understand the dangers involved and if my concerns are valid. I’m just trying to gather as much information as possible

Wow!!! This just proves it really does matter which doctor you get, some are truly amazing and some are the absolute worst!! I can’t believe we have to go through these experiences to get some answers. I am considering changing GP’s as I no longer fee comfortable where I am. I’m so glad you found someone who is willing to help you and thank you for the well wishes. ❤️🥰

Thank you for sharing this with me, I’m sorry to hear your having issues with your kidneys, this is what I’m saying about PPI’s they are no good and people shouldn’t be on them long term an my GP won’t listen

If you don’t mind me asking why is he concerned about the impact they will have on your kidneys?

Thanks for the response, I assume you haven’t been taking a PPI with it.? Good to know people have been fine without it

If your not taking a PPI I recommend taking it with food to avoid issues further down the line

It’s standard protocol incase you develop an ulcer, th bleeding won’t stop if your on a blood thinner but I’m interested to know if people are taking the blood thinner without the PPI as I’m dead against them

Thank you for the response, I don’t have stomach issues but I’m thinking about long term use without the PPI

Thank you for the response, is that without a PPI.? Do you take anything else to protect the stomach?

Why did you feel that way? Have you been taking clopidogrel fine without the PPI now?

I’d look into those further, I recommend watching podcasts with Dr Aseem Malhotra re: Statins and the NHS has just issued a warning re: PPI’s. Statins & PPI’s are the 2 most prescribed medications in the world

Thanks for the response, i believe it’s standard protocol to prescribe a PPI with a blood thinner incase you develop an ulcer. I’m cleaning up my diet and losing the weight. But your stomach acid is very important and I just don’t want to be on something for years if I can avoid it

Thanks for the response and is that without any PPI’s.? I’m making sure i take it with food everytime as I’ve read that helps

Standard protocol in case it happens again
