Did You Know?

Doctors have prescribed PLAVIX for over 10 years to more than 70 million people worldwide

Compared to the general population, people who have had a heart attack face increased risk of another heart attack. Compared to the general population, people who have had a stroke may have up to a 9 times greater risk of having another stroke than the general population and up to a 2 times greater risk of having a heart attack than the general population. And, those with peripheral artery disease have twice the risk of having a stroke and 4 times the risk of dying from a heart attack.

If you have been hospitalized with heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) or had a heart attack—conditions doctors call Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)—you, too, are at a higher risk for dangerous blood clots and a future heart attack or stroke.

PLAVIX (clopidogrel bisulfate) is a prescription medicine that when taken daily can help reduce your risk of having a future heart attack or stroke. It 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.—poor circulation in the legs that may cause pain during exercise, such as walking, and may be relieved by rest.*

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 the 2 types of heart attack—acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ("STEMI" or "Q-wave" heart attack) and non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ("NSTEMI" or "non–Q-wave" heart attack).

PLAVIX (clopidogrel bisulfate) helps keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots, which helps keep your blood flowing. This helps protect you from a future heart attack or stroke. See how.

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

*PLAVIX is not indicated for the treatment of symptoms of peripheral artery disease.
