What is Plavix and how is it used?
Plavix (clopidogrel) is a prescription antiplatelet medication used to prevent harmful blood clots. It is prescribed for patients with a history of or at high risk for heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and for those with chest pain (angina). It works by inhibiting platelets, which are blood cells involved in clotting, from sticking together. Plavix is often used alongside aspirin for added protection against cardiovascular events. Because it affects blood clotting, it increases the risk of bleeding and bruising. Important safety considerations include informing your doctor of all your medications and medical conditions, especially any bleeding disorders. You must also notify any healthcare provider performing surgery or dental work that you are taking Plavix. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as doing so could increase your risk of a stroke or heart attack.
What are potential side effects of Plavix?
Common side effects of Plavix include easy bruising, minor bleeding (such as nosebleeds), chest pain, and skin manifestations like collections of blood under the skin (hematoma) or small red or purple spots (purpura). Less commonly, patients may experience itching, rash, painful urination, or shortness of breath. This is not an exhaustive list, and other side effects may occur. Because Plavix affects blood clotting, any signs of serious bleeding, such as unusual bruising, blood in urine or stool, or severe headache, should be reported to a doctor immediately. Patients can also report side effects directly to the FDA's MedWatch program.
