If you or someone you know have taken Plavix and have experienced any side effects, contact the Singleton Law Firm today for your free case evaluation immediately.

Doctors have commonly prescribe Plavix in combination with aspirin as a preventative measure against strokes and heart attacks, however a recent study published by the New England Journal of Medicine has found, “although doctors believe the combination of Plavix and aspirin should reduce the risk of a second heart attack, the combination not only does not help, but it nearly doubles the risk of death, heart attack or stroke in people with no history of heart disease. It was also found to be associated with increased risk for moderate and severe bleeding.”

Plavix has been linked to a variety of side effects including, pneumonia, abdominal pain, coughing gout, irregular heartbeat, severe headaches, sinus inflammation, and bone marrow damage. However, serious and life-threatening side effects include:

• Gastrointestinal & Cerebral Bleeding or Ulcers – Plavix may cause potentially fatal hemorrhaging, including severe gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease or other stomach conditions.
• Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Death
