Plavix (generic: clopidogrel bisulfate) is a medication prescribed to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It is jointly marketed and distributed by two of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, Sanofi-Aventis and Bristol-Myers Squibb. At one time, the medication generated over $6.3 billion in annual sales. However, lawsuits have been pursued against the manufacturer alleging that for some users it may actually increase the risk of serious injury.
