The clopidogrel with aspirin hurts my stomach, but my worse culprit was the Isosorbide. It really messed up my stomach big time. When I discontinued the Isosorbide and went back to using Nitro patches, I was able to control the stomach pain with Pepsid. My Nexium wasn’t helping at all, so I started taking Pepcid instead and it really helped. But then my Doc said it was OK to take both Nexium and Pepcid and wanted me to take Nexium in the morning and the pepcid with the clopidogrel.

PS
Remember that abdominal pains can sometimes be a symptom of a heart problem, so if you haven’t seen your Doctor already, please go. Never just rely on the ER’s test results.
