Risks With Plavix

Plavix is a blood thinner that was developed as an alternative to aspirin for people at risk of heart attack and stroke. The drug's manufacturer claimed it was more effective than aspirin alone and easier on the stomach.

However, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in April 2006 tells a different story:

• Plavix poses a serious risk of heart attack, stroke, blood disorders and death.
• The combination of Plavix and aspirin nearly doubles the risk of death, heart attack or stroke in people with no history of heart disease.
• Plavix is not significantly more effective than aspirin alone in reducing heart attack, stroke or death from cardiovascular causes.
• This unsafe drug was also found to be associated with increased risk for moderate and severe bleeding.
