Description
PLAVIX is a prescription medication that when taken daily can help reduce your risk of having a future heart attack or stroke.
It is recommended for people who have suffered from a recent heart attack or recent stroke, or who have peripheral arterial disease (PAD)—poor circulation in the legs, which may cause pain during exercise (such as walking) that is relieved by rest.
PLAVIX, taken with aspirin, is also recommended for people who have been hospitalized with heart-related chest pain or had a certain type of heart attack—conditions doctors call acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
PLAVIX helps keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots, which helps keep your blood flowing. This helps protect you from a future heart attack or stroke.
Ingredients
PLAVIX (clopidogrel bisulfate) is an inhibitor of ADP-induced platelet aggregation acting by direct inhibition of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) binding to its receptor and of the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex. Chemically it is methyl (+)-(S)--(2-chlorophenyl)-6, 7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-5(4H)-acetate sulfate (1:1). The empirical formula of clopidogrel bisulfate is
C16H16Cl NO2S·H2SO4 and its molecular weight is 419.9.
