Plavix Litigation
The case against Plavix is centered on the misrepresentation that Plavix is more effective than Aspirin. This is simply not the case. Moreover, more than half of the patients on Plavix were prescribed the drug because physicians were under the impression that Plavix is safer on the stomach than aspirin.
We now know this is not the case. In January of 2005, the New England Journal of Medicine published data that demonstrated that patients on Plavix experience 13 times as many ulcers as those on Aspirin.
Adverse events associated with Plavix include hemorrhage (gastrointestinal, cerebral), gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, stroke, myocardial infarction, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
