The evidence is mounting that Plavix can be dangerous to your health. As far back as November 23, 1998 the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) expressed its concern with the claims made by the drug manufacturer, Bristol-Myers Squibb/Sanofi Pharmaceuticals about Plavix. The FDA warned that the manufactures falsely credited Plavix with the ability to be more effective than aspirin in treating heart disease. In fact, many patients were instructed (as recommended by the manufacturer) to take Plavix along with aspirin. Now Plavix may be responsible for more than 12 times as many ulcers in patients who take aspirin plus a heartburn pill. Instead of relieving patients of health problems, Plavix may be the cause of far more serious concerns such as bleeding ulcers. A study published by the New England Journal of Medicine states that although doctors believed the combination of Plavix and aspirin would reduce the risk of a second heart attack, the study actually found that the combination not only does not help, but doubles the risk of death, heart attack or stroke in people with no history of heart disease. It was also found to be associated with increased risk for moderate and serious bleeding. To further cite the New England Journal of Medicine, the cost and risk of Plavix do not justify its use for the prevention of coronary artery disease and heart attack. Some Plavix patients are at an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, ulcers, internal bleeding and blood disorders. |
