Generic Plavix vs. Brand Plavix
When comparing generic Plavix to brand Plavix the most significant difference is that the brand Plavix is manufactured by Sanofi Aventis while the generic Clopidogrel Bisulfate will not be manufactured inside of a Sanofi Aventis facility. As a result a generic company (Cipla), is able to formulate a much more cost efficient generic equivalent. Generic Plavix is chemically and therapeutically identical to the brand; Meaning, that the generic Clopidogrel Bisulfate is the exact same in chemical composition and the same potency as the brand. The generic metabolizes the same way within the body thus creating the exact same results. Blue Sky Drugs is leading the way in generic prescription and generic non-prescription drugs.

How Clopidogrel works
Clopidogrel, the active ingredient in Plavix and generic Plavix is used by people who have already suffered from a heart attack or stroke to reduce the risk of either re-occurring. It is a heart medication that works by prohibiting certain blood cells called platelets from sticking together creating unwanted blood clots which are the direct cause of most heart attacks and strokes. Clopidogrel is also prescribed to individuals who have been diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), also known as poor circulation in the legs.

Clopidogrel Guidelines
Do not take Plavix if you are allergic to Clopidogrel. Plavix is generally well tolerated but not for everyone, only you and your doctor can decide is Plavix or generic Plavix is the right medication for you. Be sure to advise your doctor of all medications (including aspirin) that you take. You should not use Plavix if you have a stomach ulcer or any other conditions that may cause bleeding. Plavix when taken alone or with other medications may cause bleeding so tell your doctor if you are planning surgery. Prilosec may also affect how Plavix works.
