Had a Stroke

After a life-changing event we often think of our lives differently. The path you were traveling along has suddenly been altered. And you’ll want to do everything you can to help keep another stroke or heart attack from being a part of your future. Here you’ll learn what causes a stroke and how PLAVIX can help protect you, along with finding questions for your doctor and tips for coping after a stroke.

PLAVIX helps reduce your future risk

PLAVIX is a prescription antiplatelet medicine that helps protect against another stroke or heart attack. Reducing your risk with PLAVIX may be especially important because having a stroke increases the ongoing risk of future events, including a future stroke or even a heart attack.

Important Safety Information: People with stomach ulcers or other conditions that cause bleeding should not use PLAVIX. Taking
PLAVIX alone or with some other medicines, including aspirin, may increase bleeding risk, so tell your doctor when planning surgery.
Certain genetic factors and some medicines, such as Prilosec, may affect how PLAVIX works. Tell your doctor all the 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. Other rare but serious side effects may occur.
