The main side effects of clopidogrel are bleeding and bruising. Like aspirin, there is a very small risk of bleeding in the brain. Some people experience diarrhoea, stomach pain, indigestion or heartburn when taking clopidogrel. Other side effects include nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, constipation, itching and sore throat. Dipyridamole (Persantin) Dipyridamole is also by the brand name Persantin. It is an antiplatelet drug that is often prescribed with aspirin. You may be given a tablet called Asasantin, which combines both aspirin and dipyridamole. If you cannot take aspirin, you will probably be given dipyridamole to take on its own. If you are taking medicine for indigestion, do not take it at the same time as your dipyridamole prescription.
