Plavix

Plavix (clopidogrel) is a medication that helps prevent blood clots from forming in arteries, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It works by making platelets—small blood cells involved in clotting—less likely to stick together. Usually prescribed for people with certain heart or blood vessel conditions, or those who’ve had a heart attack or stent placement, Plavix helps keep blood flowing smoothly. It's important to take it exactly as prescribed and inform your doctor about any other medications or health issues, as it can increase bleeding risk.
