Plavix (clopidogrel) is a blood thinner.
Plavix prevents platelets in your blood from sticking together to form an unwanted blood clot that could block an artery.
Plavix is used to lower your risk of having a stroke, blood clot, or serious heart problem after you've had a heart attack, severe chest pain (angina), or circulation problems.
Plavix may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
