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.

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.
