PLAVIX  (CLOPIDOGREL BISULFATE):  Clopidogrel is used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in persons with heart disease (recent heart attack), recent stroke, or blood circulation disease (peripheral vascular disease). It is also used with aspirin to treat new/worsening chest pain (new heart attack, unstable angina) and to keep blood vessels open and prevent blood clots after certain procedures (such as cardiac stent). Clopidogrel works by blocking platelets from sticking together and prevents them from forming harmful clots. It is an antiplatelet drug. It helps keep blood flowing smoothly in your body.   FDA Approval Date: 2007-09-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Prescribed after 4 heart stents Developed bloody diarrhea due to diverticulosis. I am an old redhead and thus have had life-long problems with easy bruising and slow wound healing. Using a strong blood thinner like this medication was a big mistake because it made my lower intestine ooze blood. I have discontinued PLAVIX and will go back to using 81 mg aspirin (with the consent of my cardiologist's partner). F 79 4 months
75 mg 1X day

 1  1 Stent on R side. LAD 90% blocked. Brain fog, exhaustion, bruising, bleeding, blurred vision, bloating/flatulence, depression, racing heart, heartburn, acid reflux, shortness of breath, heavy feeling, elbow, wrist and hip pain, difficulty sleeping. If you have problems with this I would try to get changed to another blood thinner right away with a better rating. I haven't because I live in a rural area and am sick of traveling 8 hour round trips for blood tests and doctors. It's very expensive staying at motels overnight. I feel like I would rather die than be on this any more. F 63 6 months

 1  stent Within one day of being put on this drug I have had almost constant fatigue, the worst in my entire life. I can barely function. Additionally now, about 1 week later, my vision is blurred ALL THE TIME. I wear glasses and had an eye checkup 2 months ago - no changes, all was good. But now, in order to see, I have to move my glasses down to the end of my nose - and not talking about seeing closeup, I mean for faraway vision as well. If these conditions do not improve I cannot continue to take this drug, no matter what the risks may be. M 62 7 days
