About Plavix: Plavix (Clopidogrel Bisulfate) is a medicine prescribed to patients suffering from different conditions such as angina, coronary artery disease, heart disorders or any other heath conditions that are caused by the formation of blood clots in the body. This medicine works by thinning blood by stopping platelets clump together in the body, and this process effectively reduces the formation of blood clots. It is a very effective treatment for patients suffering from severe cardiovascular issues or those at risk of being attacked by strokes, a condition this medicine is effective in preventing. The medicine improves blood flow through treatment of atherosclerosis which defines the accumulation of high cholesterol levels in the blood vessels. The active ingredient of this medicine starts to act on adenosine diphosphate compound as soon as it has been administered in the human body. This process stops ADP from attaching itself to P2Y12 receptors found on the platelets, and this prevents the aggregation of platelets. Since the platelets are prevented from grouping together, the risk of formation of clots is considerably diminished and this enables blood to flow throughout the body is a safe and smooth manner.
