Pletal Reviews
For Intermittent Claudication "I have peripheral artery disease. Pain/numbness in legs/buttocks. Difficulty walking standing. Within ONE HOUR of beginning treatment with Pletal, I began feeling relief. More than two weeks now with almost TOTAL relief from discomfort/pain/weakness and no side effects. Absolutely amazing medicine."
For Intermittent Claudication "I have been on this medication since July, and the results are simply amazing! I have my life back. Not only did I get so much relief from the pain in my legs, I can now walk and walk and actually keep up with my very active grandkids (ages 4, 11, 11, and 16). On a side note, I have lost almost all my excess weight by tweaking my diet and just being able to be active again! This medicine has been a godsend to me! Hope anyone who is suffering from this disease is able to get the same results I have. It is great to have my active life back!"
For Intermittent Claudication "I have been on Pletal for 2 weeks and have both positive and negative effects. The pain in my left leg is much better, but I am having pretty severe headaches and a stiff neck. I have been a migraine sufferer since the age of 13. These are not migraines but a throbbing pain at the base of my skull. I will continue the drug as long as I can stand the headaches. If headache pain becomes worse than leg pain, guess I'll stop the Pletal?"
For Intermittent Claudication "Within several hours of taking Pletal for my leg pains due to PAD, I began to experience severe headaches. I stayed on the medicine for one week, hoping it would subside. It remained constant, so I discontinued taking it."
"Pletal causes severe itching, I used to have near syncopal episodes almost everyday, I wish I could take anything, but all the drugs cause severe itching"
