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.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2007-09-20

 1  Stent placement Did not work! New stents plugged up in 23 months! Was told that Plavix does not work for everyone and that is why my stents plugged up. Had another two stents installed and was put on Brilinta which has horrible side effects compared to Plavix. However it will hopefully keep my new stents open longer than two years! M 63 2 years

 1  Stent in 100% blockage -1 artery Tired all the time, no energy, feel depressed, lost 4 pounds already. I feel like I'm in someone else's body. I had 1 artery that was 100% locked (right artery), the other 2 were clear. Was told to stay on this for 1 year. I take aspirin along with Plavix. I'm at the point of taking myself off. Doctor's assistant told me she could guarantee a heart attack if I came off before a year. F 74 6 months

No side effect on the first day. Outpatient pharmacy at hospital gave me 3 days with pink pill inside bottle from accord as a vendor. This is not good medication.

 1  stent to diagonal within an hour or so of taking the loading dose (four tabs) before stenting I had a fainting fit almost passed out felt terrible. Since then have had series of similar attacks with hot flushes and panic attack symptoms. These have become more and more frequent - now every three or four days - very debilitating. I am on these for 12 months - can't wait to stop to see if all this goes away !! M 87 9 months

 5  Poor circulation in legs Before starting this medication I could not walk 50 feet without have to stop and rest. After about 3 weeks of taking medication I now can walk at least a 1/2 mile before any leg pain start, also I had a bad ABI test that is when dr put me on Plavix and low dose aspirin (already taking aspirin) I had a angiography done on legs and results came back mild leg vein damage. Seems no side effects other than stopping bleeding takes a bit more time. M 60 1 days

 5  Stroke My husband took this for 11 and a half yrs,righteously.He got lung cancer and they stopped his plavix for radiation treatment and for a port.T hey had given him 6 mo.to a year and he died 15 days later.I know it was because he stopped the plavix.He was doing fine before that.A and I found out afterwards that you are not suppose to stop taking any blood thinners when starting radiation, that's according to the drug safety council.I know drugs don't work on every person the same but this drug worked for him till they stopped it.People should know you can't just abruptly don't stop a drug you have to be weaned slowly.They said it can cause stroke or heart attack if you do. And that's exactly what happened to him. This drug worked for him 11 an a half yrs.All drugs don't work for everyone but it worked for him as long as he wastaking it. M 69 10 years

 1  heart stint procedure My Dad took this stuff for about a year and it has almost killed him. He has suffered immensely with all kinds of side effects like nausea, extreme stomach aches vomiting anemia, internal bleeding. This stuff needs to be taken off the market! What's wrong with doctors anyway! You trying to kill off our elderly?! When I get old I will NOT take all that crap....I'll just take my chances on aspirin or something. Wow... The crap sucks! Needs to be banned! M 78 1 years
