A patient, who is 81 and has had two Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA’s), was subsequently diagnosed with DMI.
Since the TIA attacks, the patient has been taking Plavix.
Should he discontinue his TIA medication now that he has started to have Lucentis injections for the treatment of DMI?
What would be the implications if the two treatments (Plavix and Lucentis) were to be followed concurrently?
If indeed Plavix should be discontinued what can be done to prevent further TIA attacks?
Thank you,
