Plavix (clopidogrel) is an antiplatelet drug that prevents blood clots from forming. Plavix is prescribed to lower the risk of blood clots and stroke after a heart attack or in people with serious heart problems including angina. Clopidogrel works by blocking platelets from sticking together and forming clots. This medication may also be prescribed to be used with aspirin.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and use Plavix exactly as prescribed.</ p>

• Try to take Plavix at the same time every day.
