Once again, another study has confirmed previous findings. Plavix, when combined with aspirin, doubles the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, and more than doubles the risk of fatal hemorrhaging.

As you can see below, Plavix on its own is not a winner, either.

Side effects listed on the NHS webpage about Plavix (Clopidogrel)

Common side effects of clopidogrel can include:

·         headaches or dizziness

·         nausea

·         diarrhoea

·         indigestion (dyspepsia)

·         stomach ache or abdominal pain

·         nosebleeds

·         increased bleeding (your blood taking longer to clot – for example, when you cut yourself), or easy bruising

More serious side effects can include:

·         rashes and itching

·         severe stomach ache or abdominal pain

·         uncontrolled bleeding or unusual bruising

·         vomiting with blood

·         blood in your urine

·         blood in your stools
