Plavix® Health Problems

Plavix® is a popular prescription drug used to help reduce the risk of heart attack, unstable angina (chest pain or discomfort), stroke, and cardiovascular death in patients with cardiovascular disease. Plavix (also known as clopidogrel) works by decreasing the activity of blood cells called platelets, making platelets less likely to form blood clots.

Unfortunately, for many users, Plavix use may result in internal bleeding, stomach damage, and stomach ulcers.

Is Plavix dangerous?

Plavix and its link to internal bleeding is well established, especially when used in combination with other drugs. The New York Times and The New England Journal of Medicine report patients taking Plavix experience more than 12 times as many ulcers as patients who take aspirin plus a heartburn pill.
