WHAT PLAVIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clopidogrel, the active ingredient in Plavix tablets, belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet medicinal products. Platelets are very small structures, smaller than red or white blood cells, which clump together during blood clotting. By preventing this clumping, antiplatelet medicinal products reduce the chances of blood clots forming (a process called thrombosis).
Plavix is taken to prevent blood clots (thrombi) forming in hardened blood vessels (arteries), a process known as atherothrombosis, which can lead to atherothrombotic events (such as stroke, heart attack or death).
You have been prescribed Plavix to help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of these severe events because:
- You have a condition of hardening of arteries (also known as atherothrombosis), and
- You have previously experienced a heart attack, stroke or have a condition known as peripheral arterial disease, or
- You have experienced a severe type of chest pain known as 'unstable angina' or 'myocardial infarction' (heart attack). In this case you may also be given acetylsalicylic acid (a substance present in many medicines used to relieve pain and lower fever as well as to prevent blood clotting) by your doctor.
