Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | This is supposed to thin the blood. I don't know how you measure this. |
| Side effects: | | The side effect that I noticed was EXTENSIVE bruising wherever the skin is struck or bumped into something. |
| Comments: | | After taking this drug for about a month and a half, I fell down some cement stairs quite dramatically. The next day I was sore, as can be expected. But I also had HUGE bruises in the spots where I guess I made the most contact or the most severe impact. (I'm lucky I didn't crack my head open or break something!)One bruise was about 6 inches by 6 inches. |
