Is it ok for persons taking plavix to take pantoprazole?
Pantoprazole (Protonix) apparently does not interfere with the liver enzyme system involved in the absorption of Plavix. This difference means it should not interfere with the efficacy of Plavix. I am currently trying to decide whether to discontinue taking a different PPI (proton pump inhibitor) and switch to pantoprazole (Protonix). I have been taking a PPI for many years because of severe GERD, and, for the past two years, I have been on Plavix following an embolic event related to carotid artery disease. At this point, I am switching to pantoprazole, and, will stagger when I take the Plavix and the PPI (based on the absorption of Plavix).

depends on the stent if its drug eluting (coated with stuff that works like teflon) or if its a bare metal stent. bare metal stents usally require plavix for a year, drug eluting at least 3 months. but this is usually up to the cardiologist. and a lot of cardiologist prefer to keep to patients on plavix indefinitely as a precaution.
