Clots are the number one cause of heart attack and stroke, but you can help reduce your risk. This is important information ifyou've been hospitalized with heart-related chest pain or a certain type of heart attack. That's because these conditions, known as Acute Coronary Syndrome - or ACS - are usually caused when blood platelets stick together and form clots that block blood flow to your heart. And if you've already had a clot, you're at an increased risk for a future heart attack or stroke. PLAVIX, incombination with aspirin, helps provide greater protection against afuture heart attack or stroke than aspirin alone. PLAVIX, taken with aspirin, plays its own role in helping reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. That's because, unlike your cholesterol and blood pressure medications, prescription PLAVIX works directly to help keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding, you shouldn't use PLAVIX. When taking PLAVIX alone or with some medicines including aspirin, the risk of bleeding may increase. To minimize this risk, talk to your doctor before taking aspirin or other medicines with PLAVIX. Additional rare but serious side effects could occur. Talk to your doctor today to learn more about PLAVIX. Or visit www.plavix.com or call 1.800.871.5120.
