Plavix

What is Plavix?

Plavix keeps the platelets in your blood from coagulating (clotting) to prevent unwanted blood clots that can occur with certain heart or blood vessel conditions.

Plavix is used to prevent blood clots after a recent heart attack or stroke, and in people with certain disorders of the heart or blood vessels.


About PLAVIX

PLAVIX (clopidogrel bisulfate) helps keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots, which are the direct cause of most heart attacks and strokes. It is recommended for people who have experienced a recent clot-related event—such as a heart attack or stroke—or who have been diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease, or P.A.D (also known as poor circulation in the legs).



PLAVIX (clopidogrel bisulfate), taken with aspirin, is also recommended for people who have Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), a diagnosis that includes heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) and 2 types of heart attack. Each of these conditions increases the risk for a future heart attack or stroke. Always talk to your doctor before taking aspirin or other medicines with PLAVIX, especially if you've had a stroke.

How PLAVIX Works

PLAVIX helps protect you from a future heart attack or stroke.

In most cases, a heart attack or stroke is caused by a blood clot that reduces or blocks the flow of blood through an artery. PLAVIX helps keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming blood clots. By keeping your blood flowing, PLAVIX helps protect you from blood clots and a future heart attack or stroke.

PLAVIX is recommended for people who have suffered from a recent heart attack or recent stroke, or who have been diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease, or P.A.D., also known as poor circulation in the legs. Each of these conditions increases the risk for a future heart attack or stroke.

PLAVIX, taken with aspirin, is also recommended for people who have Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), a diagnosis that includes heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) and the 2 types of heart attack—acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ("STEMI") and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ("NSTEMI"). If you have been hospitalized with heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) or had a STEMI heart attack, you, too, are at a higher risk for dangerous blood clots and a future heart attack or stroke.

Always talk to your doctor before taking aspirin or other medicines with PLAVIX, especially if you’ve had a stroke.

PLAVIX has been the focus of extensive research, studies, and scientific findings. The effectiveness of PLAVIX has been proven and the safety profile supported by 4 large clinical studies involving 81,000 patients.
