Is The Generic Form Of Plavix Same Effective As Plavix?
Hello, My father in law was just looking at his medications and noticed that his recent perscription that was filled for PLAVIX is a different color and smaller in size. I did research and found the pill indication site which said the pill was a generic form of Plavix. He is worried about taking it because he has never had that color, size of Plavix before. Should he contact his doctor?
hi he should keep taking plavix usually the medicine, an antiplatelet, is given for heart attack or stroke. so the medicine should be continued..
plavix contains clopidrogel so if you like, you can take another, more suitable and acceptable version of clopidrogel meeting a doctor again is a good idea. he can also prescribe a new tablet as per your area
