WHO SHOULD RECEIVE Plavix® (clopidogrel hydrogensulfate)?
Plavix® is recommended daily for patients who have had a recent heart attack or stroke, or poor circulation in the legs that may cause pain during exercise, such as walking, and may be relieved by rest (known as peripheral artery disease, or P.A.D.). Plavix® is also recommended in addition to aspirin for patients who have been hospitalized with heart-related chest pain (unstable angina) or had a heart attack.
