Plavix (Clopidogrel)

Plavix (Clopidogrel) is a medication that helps prevent blood clots by making platelets less likely to stick together. It is commonly prescribed for people with heart or blood vessel conditions to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or other serious events. By inhibiting platelet aggregation, Plavix keeps blood flowing smoothly through arteries. It is typically used alongside other treatments and requires regular doctor oversight to ensure safety and effectiveness. While effective at reducing clot risks, it can increase bleeding risk, so careful monitoring is essential during treatment.
