Get Started:
Plavix, the second best-selling drug in the world, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2002 for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes. Plavix, distributed by Bristol-Meyer Squibb and Sanofi-Aventis, is recommended by the American Heart Association as an alternative to aspirin for patients who have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding and peptic ulcer disease (PUD). However, recent studies have found that the drug is linked to serious Plavix side effects, particularly in patients with previous gastrointestinal bleeding conditions.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm from Plavix, you may be eligible to file a Plavix lawsuit to seek compensation for your losses and suffering. Please contact us to speak to a qualified and experienced Plavix lawyer who can evaluate your case to determine the best course of action for you.
Research Indicates Serious Plavix Risks
According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, patients with a history of PUD who took Plavix were 12 times more likely to experience a recurrence of ulcers than those who took a combination of aspirin with a heartburn pill. These alarming results disclaim the manufacturer�s assertion that Plavix is more beneficial than aspirin and causes fewer ulcers.
Even more alarming are the findings of other recent studies that indicate a combination of Plavix and aspirin, commonly prescribed by doctors, doubles the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in patients with no history of heart disease, but worrisome conditions such as high cholesterol. This research shows that Plavix offers NO significant benefit over low-dose aspirin therapy, and may in fact cause serious life-threatening risks to patients.
Injured by Plavix?
A patient who suffered serious injury after using the popular blood-thinner Plavix has filed the first lawsuit against the drug maker accusing the company of intentionally withholding vital safety information in the name of profit.
