Those with evidence of atherosclerosis were randomised to receive aspirin or clopidogrel
What is the difference between aspirin and Plavix (clopidogrel)? Aspirin and Plavix ( clopidogrel bisulfate) are drugs used to prevent blood clots
Aspirin side effects include heartburn and stomach upset
It keeps platelets in your blood from coming together and making clots
Then, for the first 3-6 months, either single or dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended, based on bleeding risk
We aimed to compare head to head the efficacy and safety of aspirin and clopidogrel monotherapy in this population
5 percent with placebo; P=0
And it can be crushed and mixed with water if you have trouble swallowing pills
The difference for HR of death was significant between groups in favor of aspirin (clopidogrel to aspirin HR=2
The difference between groups remains significant after adjustments based on PSM with the Cox proportional hazards regression model
0% in those taking Plavix versus 2
Aspirin vs
0% in those taking Plavix versus 2
But for the 20 percent with no signs of heart disease, the drug combination proved dangerous
This tool is intended to guide the clinician in deciding if bridging is necessary based on the risk profile, and if indicated
Plavix may be used for the treatment of unstable angina and for certain types of heart attack (myocardial infarction) to reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack
