P.A.D. Video: Coffee Shop

Discussion of P.A.D. at a coffee shop. Explains the serious risks associated with P.A.D. and how PLAVIX can help reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

PLAVIX is for patients who have:

  • poor circulation in the legs (Peripheral Artery Disease)
  • had a recent heart attack
  • had a recent stroke

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Certain genetic factors and some medicines such as Prilosec reduce the effect of PLAVIX leaving you at greater risk for heart attack and stroke. Your doctor may use genetic tests to determine treatment. Don’t stop taking PLAVIX without talking to your doctor as your risk of heart attack or stroke may increase. People with stomach ulcers or conditions that cause bleeding should not use PLAVIX. Taking PLAVIX alone or with some other medicines, including aspirin, may increase bleeding risk which can potentially be life-threatening. So tell your doctor when planning surgery. Tell your doctor all medicines you take, including aspirin, especially if you’ve had a stroke. 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.
