High Blood Pressure

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Clots in the blood cause more than 90% of heart attacks and 80% of strokes. And, once you’ve experienced one clot-related condition, your risk of another never goes away.

Plavix is a prescription medicine that when taken daily can help reduce your risk of having a future heart attack or stroke. It is recommended for people who have suffered from a recent heart attack or recent stroke, or who have been diagnosed with peripheral artery disease, or P.A.D – poor circulation in the legs that may cause pain during exercise, such as walking, and may be relieved by rest. Doctors have prescribed Plavix for over 8 years to millions of people worldwide.

Plavix helps keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots, which helps keep your blood flowing. This helps protect you from a future heart attack or stroke.
