After one dose - side effects: elevated blood pressure (155/93) and pulse (96), both are usually well in the normal range. Hot flashes, dizzy, excruciating headache.
I just started the medication this morning and within 2 or 3 hours I felt shortness of breath which stopped after about 2 hours.

Have been on Pletal foralmost 2 months. Seems to help a lot. I still have some pain when walking, but not as bad as it use to be. Hopefully, it will continue to help. no side effects from the medication.
