PLAVIX (clopidogrel bisulfate) 75mg tablets

Clot formation is a natural defense and healing mechanism in the body. But, sometimes clots can put you at risk for a heart attack or stroke.

PLAVIX helps protect you
against a future heart attack or stroke

If you have had one clot-related event—a heart attack, heart-related chest pain, or stroke —you are at higher risk of another clot-related event. If you have been diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D., known as poor circulation in the legs), you are also at higher risk of a heart attack or stroke.

PLAVIX helps keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots—the direct cause of most heart attacks and strokes. With its effectiveness proven and safety profile supported by 4 large clinical studies with 81,000 patients, PLAVIX is the #1 prescription
antiplatelet medicine.

Important Safety Information: If you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding you should not use PLAVIX. Taking PLAVIX alone or with some other medicines including aspirin may increase bleeding risk. Tell your doctor before planning surgery or taking aspirin or other medicines with PLAVIX, especially if you've had a stroke. Some medicines that are used to treat heartburn or stomach ulcers, like Prilosec, may affect how PLAVIX works, so tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines. If fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. These may be signs of TTP, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting PLAVIX. Other rare but serious side effects may occur.
