Plavix Lawyers

Have you suffered a bleeding injury while taking Plavix (clopidogrel)? Plavix, a popular prescription blood thinner, can carry a higher risk of a serious bleeding event. If you or a loved one has been injured by taking Plavix, contact us today to see if we can help.

In October of 2012, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes halted a portion of a stroke-prevention study when it found that Plavix combined with aspirin nearly doubled the risk of bleeding events and death. Further, the Plavix-aspirin combination was not better at preventing a stroke than taking plain aspirin alone[1].

Yet another study found that Plavix dramatically increased the risk of ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease[2].

A serious bleeding event can be fatal. Contact your doctor right away if you:

  • Start bleeding unexpectedly or bleed for a long time
  • Notice blood in your urine (pink, red or brown urine)
  • Notice red or black stools (looks like tar)
  • Have unexplained bruises or bruises that get larger
  • Cough up blood or blood clots
  • Vomit blood or your vomit looks like coffee grounds

Do not discontinue taking any medication without consulting your physician.

If you have been prescribed Plavix and have suffered a bleeding event, call us at our toll-free number, 1-800-536-4357 or use our online form for more information.
