The FDA has approved a generic version of Plavix, despite serious side effects. Hi.
My name is Michael Werner and I’m an attorney with Parker Waichman. Today I want to give
you some new information regarding Plavix and its generic forms. As you may know, Plavix
is a blood thinner used to prevent against blood clots. And this is usually prescribed
to patients who have had a history of, or who are at risk of, developing heart disease,
heart attacks, or stroke. And until recently, you could only get Plavix through the brand
name manufacturer and often at a considerable cost. However, on May 17th, 2012, the FDA
approved Plavix in its generic forms. However, these generic forms come with the same severe
side effects risk as did Plavix and these include: cerebral bleeding, gastrointestinal
bleeding, bleeding ulcers, and TTP. It’s very important that the side effects associated
with the generic forms be treated just as severely as those with Plavix. If you’re
taking Plavix, its generic forms, or if you feel you’ve had any of these side effects,
here’s what I want you to do. Pick up the phone and give me a call. I deal with Plavix
on a daily basis and I’m happy to help you personally with your issues. Again, my name
is Michael Werner and thanks for watching.
