It comes as a tablet taken by mouth once per day and is also available as a generic medication. Since it's a blood thinner, possible side effects include bleeding and bruising, especially if you take medications that interact with clopidogrel (Plavix) like certain antidepressants, anticoagulants, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Pharmacist tips for Clopidogrel (Plavix)

pharmacist

  • Take clopidogrel (Plavix) with or without food. But avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice because they interact with clopidogrel (Plavix) causing the medication to not work as well.

    • Clopidogrel (Plavix) can make you bleed more easily. Stop taking the medication and get medical help right away if you feel lightheaded, dizzy, are vomiting or coughing up blood, or have blood in your stool. These are signs of bleeding that might be happening inside your body.

      • Get medical help right away if you fall and hit your head while taking clopidogrel (Plavix). Your provider will want to check to make sure you don't have any brain bleeds.

        • Clopidogrel (Plavix) interacts with several commonly used medications. Some medications need to be avoided while others might need their dose adjusted or you need closer monitoring. Tell your provider and pharmacist about all of the medications and supplements you're taking before and during treatment with clopidogrel (Plavix) to make sure the combination is as safe for you as possible.

          • Don't stop taking clopidogrel (Plavix) unless your provider specifically tells you it's safe to do so. This can cause blood clots to form in your body, which can be severe and life-threatening. If you're wanting to stop clopidogrel (Plavix) or switch to another blood thinner, ask your provider how to do so safely.

            How Long Will I Need to Take Plavix (Clopidogrel) After a Heart Attack?

            Written by Ross Phan, PharmD, BCACP, BCGP, BCPS
            faqs

            Frequently asked questions about Clopidogrel (Plavix)

            Is clopidogrel (Plavix) a blood thinner?
            Yes, clopidogrel (Plavix) is an antiplatelet medication. It stops platelets from clumping up together and forming blood clots. Because of this, blood thinners like clopidogrel (Plavix) raise your risk for bleeding and bruising. Make sure to contact your provider if you notice unusual bleeding (e.g., bloody urine or stool, coughing up or vomiting blood) or having trouble stopping a bleed.
            What should you not take with clopidogrel (Plavix)?
            Clopidogrel (Plavix) interacts with several medications. Don't take omeprazole (Prilosec) or esomeprazole (Nexium) with clopidogrel (Plavix) because they can lower how well clopidogrel (Plavix) works. You also should be careful when taking NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve)) because these can raise your risk of bleeding. Also, there are other medications that raise your risk of bleeding, such as certain antidepressants and anticoagulants). Make sure to tell your provider about all medications and supplements you're taking. They can help check for interactions and make sure your medications are safe to take with clopidogrel (Plavix).
            What foods should I avoid with clopidogrel (Plavix)?
            Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking clopidogrel (Plavix) because it can make clopidogrel (Plavix) not work as well, which raises your risk for a heart attack or stroke. Other than that, there aren't any other specific foods that affect clopidogrel (Plavix). In fact, foods like leafy green vegetables that are typically limited with warfarin (Coumadin) (another common blood thinner), can still be eaten while taking clopidogrel (Plavix).
            Can you still have a stroke or heart attack when taking clopidogrel (Plavix)?
            Yes. Clopidogrel (Plavix) works well to lower your risk of having a stroke or heart attack, but it's still possible to have a stroke or heart attack even while you're taking this medication. This is because your risk for these events depends on several things, like your medical conditions, other medications you're taking, and your lifestyle. It's important to do what you can to keep your risk as low as possible, such as eating healthy and regular exercise.
            When should I stop clopidogrel (Plavix) before surgery?
            You need to stop clopidogrel (Plavix) 5 days before any surgery or procedure with a high risk of bleeding. But it's important to discuss with your provider if you should stop taking clopidogrel (Plavix). This is because not all surgeries or procedures require you to stop the medication.
            How long should you take clopidogrel (Plavix)?
            It varies. In general, clopidogrel (Plavix) is initially taken for a month to at least 1 year, depending on the reason you're taking the medication. But, the length of time you need clopidogrel (Plavix) will depend on your specific situation and risk factors for bleeding or clotting. Some people need to take it for just a few months while others might need it for the rest of their lives. Don't stop taking clopidogrel (Plavix) unless your provider specifically told you to do so.
            Why are aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix) used together?
            While both clopidogrel (Plavix) and aspirin are antiplatelets medications, they work slightly differently from each other. There are many studies to see if using either medication alone or both together works better to prevent heart attacks and strokes. In general, research shows using both medications in people with heart problems works better, but also raises the risk of bleeding. Also, according to the 2021 stroke prevention guidelines, only people with certain severe types of stroke should use both aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix). Your provider might suggest using either one or both medications based on your specific situation and needs.

            What are the risks and warnings for Clopidogrel (Plavix)?

            Clopidogrel (Plavix) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

            risk-warning

            Clopidogrel (Plavix) not working as well

            • Risk factors: Taking omeprazole (Prilosec) or esomeprazole (Nexium) | Having certain genes that make clopidogrel (Plavix) work less


              Certain people with a specific gene might not respond as well to clopidogrel (Plavix) because of how their bodies break down the medication. Don't start any new medications, vitamins, or supplements without first talking to your healthcare provider or pharmacist, since they could interfere with how clopidogrel (Plavix) works.

              risk-warning

              Bleeding

              • Risk factors: Taking other medications that raise the risk for bleeding

                Taking clopidogrel (Plavix) can raise your risk for bleeding. Also, this medication might make it take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. You might also notice that you get bruises more easily or have more bleeding when you get a cut or nosebleed. Your risk is higher if you're also taking other medications that can cause bleeding. Tell your provider right away if you notice any abnormal bleeding, see any blood in your stool or urine, or feel more dizzy. Get medical help right away if you have a fall, head injury, or other kinds of physical injury since you might have bleeding inside your body. And contact your provider right away if you have dark or tarry stool or bleeds that are difficult to stop.

                risk-warning

                Risk of heart attack or stroke if stopped suddenly

                • Risk factors: Stopping clopidogrel (Plavix) suddenly | Recent heart attack or stent

                  Don't stop taking clopidogrel (Plavix) unless your provider specifically tells you it's safe to do so. Stopping the medication too early can cause a heart attack or stroke. If you're wanting to stop clopidogrel (Plavix), contact your provider so they can create a safe plan for you.

                  risk-warning

                  Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)

                  Clopidogrel (Plavix) can cause a rare, life-threatening blood condition called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) where blood clots form in small blood vessels. Sometimes it can happen within the first 2 weeks of starting clopidogrel (Plavix). Get medical help right away if you have fever, unusual bleeding, easy bruising, weakness, dizziness, tiredness, or trouble breathing.

                  risk-warning

                  Allergic reaction

                  • Risk factors: Allergy to prasugrel (Effient) or ticagrelor (Brilinta)

                    Allergic reactions to clopidogrel (Plavix) are possible, including life-threatening reactions like facial swelling, shock, and anaphylaxis. If you are allergic to prasugrel (Effient) or ticagrelor (Brilinta), you might also be allergic to clopidogrel (Plavix). Stop taking clopidogrel (Plavix) and call your doctor if you notice a rash or hives after taking this medication. Get medical help right away if you experience swelling in your face, throat, or tongue.
