Plavix
Plavix, also known as clopidogrel, is a medication used to prevent blood clots in people who have suffered a recent heart attack or stroke, and in those with certain disorders of the heart or blood vessels. It works by inhibiting platelets in the blood from clotting, helping to prevent the formation of new clots.
How is this medication used?
Plavix is usually taken once a day, with or without food, according to the directions provided by your healthcare provider. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and not to take more or less than advised.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of Plavix include bleeding more easily than normal, such as having nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or bruising. Other side effects can include stomach pain, diarrhea, or indigestion. Serious side effects, which require immediate medical attention, include signs of a blood clot or stroke, such as sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body, sudden severe headache, slurred speech, and vision or balance problems.
What are the potential interactions?
Plavix can interact with several other medications, which can increase the risk of serious bleeding. These include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), warfarin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) among others. Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking to prevent potential interactions.
