Plavix (Cloidogrel)

The health information contained herein is provided for general education purposes only. Your health-care professional is the single best source of information regarding your health. Please consult your health-care professional if you have any questions about your health or treatment.
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.

How do clots form?
All of us develop plaque: a buildup of cholesterol and other materials in the walls of our arteries. Over time, this plaque can restrict the flow of blood throughout the body. Normal arteries are smooth and flexible, allowing oxygen-rich blood to flow through easily. Over time, certain factors cause cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other materials to collect in the arterial walls causing plaque. This plaque narrows the arteries and reduces the flow of blood. As blood flows through the narrowed artery, the plaque can rupture. This causes platelets in the blood to stick to the damaged area (similar to a scab on the skin) by clumping together and forming a clot. A clot can reduce or completely block the flow of blood through an artery. If this happens in an artery supplying the heart, the result can be a heart attack or heart-related chest pain.

PLAVIX can help
PLAVIX is proven to help keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots, helping to keep your blood flowing. This can help protect you from having a future heart attack or stroke. "Stent* or no stent, PLAVIX may be right for you. Some patients who have had heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) or a certain type of heart attack in which your artery was partially blocked (non-ST-elevation heart attack) have medical procedures to insert a stent into an artery that is narrowed due to plaque buildup. Others are managed with medical treatment, or with cardiac surgery. In each of these cases, it's still important to talk to your doctor about PLAVIX.

Stroke - Types of stroke
There are two main types of stroke. Most strokes are ischemic, meaning they result from a blockage, usually a clot, in an artery leading to the brain. Hemorrhagic strokes are less common and occur when a vessel ruptures, causing blood to leak into the brain. While rehabilitation following a stroke is an important part of recovery, taking PLAVIX as prescribed by your doctor may help reduce your risk for another stroke.

What causes most strokes?
All of us develop plaque-a buildup of cholesterol and other materials-in the walls of our arteries. Over time, plaque can restrict the flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Plaque also may rupture, causing platelets to clump together on or near the plaque, forming a clot that limits or completely stops the flow of blood to various parts of the body. If a clot forms in an artery leading to the brain, a stroke can occur. Heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) or a heart attack can result if a clot forms in an artery supplying blood to the heart.
