EFFIENT  (PRASUGREL HYDROCHLORIDE):  Prasugrel is used with aspirin by patients with heart disease (recent heart attack, unstable angina) who undergo a certain heart procedure (angioplasty). This medication helps to prevent other serious heart/blood vessel problems (such as heart attacks, strokes, blood clots in stents). It works by blocking platelets from sticking together and prevents them from forming harmful blood clots. This "anti-platelet" effect helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body.   FDA Approval Date: 2009-07-10 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  After Stent Insertion None, except for the bruises which are mainly on my thighs. I am satisfied to the degree that I donot know how effective this drug is. While I have not had any problems, I wasn't having any problems so to speak before my H A. The only indication that I have according to the Dr. is the bruise marks tell me that the drug is working.

 1  post stent insertion HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE depression and muscle weakness. Have pre existing fibromyalgia and Effient has made it much worse. Plavix did the same thing. F 67 6 weeks
5mg 1X day		 8/12/2010
 4  Post stent and myocardial infarctio No side effects as yet, other than a few black and blue marks if not careful. I also take aspirin 160mg at the same time. I was switched from Plavix because I take Nexium. YOU CANNOT TAKE PLAVIX AND A PPI AT THE SAME TIME. There is no problem taking Effient and a PPI. M 58 2 weeks
