Clot formation: Learn how clots form and how Plavix can help reduce the risk of future heart attack and stroke.

Clots are a natural defense mechanism in the body, but sometimes they can put you at risk.

A tiny clot can be a real danger. Help fight back with PLAVIX.

Clots in the blood cause more than 90% of heart attacks and more than 85% of strokes. And, once you've experienced one clot-related condition, your risk of another never goes away.

PLAVIX is proven to help keep platelets from sticking together and forming clots, which can help protect against a future heart attack or stroke.

Important Information

If you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding, you should not use PLAVIX. When taking PLAVIX alone or with some other medicines including aspirin, the risk of bleeding may increase so tell your doctor before planning surgery. And, always talk to your doctor before taking aspirin or other medicines with PLAVIX, especially if youve had a stroke. If you develop fever, unexplained weakness or confusion, tell your doctor promptly as these may be signs of a rare but potentially life-threatening condition called TTP, which has been reported rarely, sometimes in less than 2 weeks after starting therapy. Other rare but serious side effects may occur.
