Clopidogrel (Plavix) – Blood Clot Prevention

What is Clopidogrel?

Clopidogrel, commonly known as Plavix, is a blood thinner (antiplatelet medication) that prevents clot formation in individuals at risk for heart disease, strokes, and circulation disorders.

Benefits of Clopidogrel (Plavix)

• Prevents heart attacks: Reduces clot-related cardiac risks.
• Reduces stroke risk: Protects against clot-induced strokes.
• Improves circulation: Keeps blood vessels open and functioning properly.
• Essential post-surgery: Used after stents and bypass surgeries.

Clopidogrel is taken daily, and patients should avoid excessive alcohol and certain painkillers to prevent bleeding complications.
