If you have had one clot-related event—a heart attack, heart-related chest pain, or stroke —you are at higher risk of another clot-related event. If you have been diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D., known as poor circulation in the legs), you are also at higher risk of a heart attack or stroke.

PLAVIX is a prescription medicine that helps keep platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots—the direct cause of most heart attacks and strokes.
