Hello and thank you for your question.
Clodipogrel or plavix is used safely by many people for many conditions. It can cause a rash in some people but the biggest problem is bleeding complications. All medications like this can have this side effect so you just have to be careful and use it as directed. I think it is a good option if you had side effects with dipyridamole.
Regards.
