Overdose (Zyada Dose)
If you take more than the prescribed amount, seek emergency medical help immediately. Overdose of Plavix can cause serious harm, including bleeding or bruising and difficulty breathing.
Never Stop Suddenly (Achanak band na karein)
If you are taking Plavix after a coronary stent, do not stop the medicine on your own for any reason, even before a minor procedure. Stopping too early can lead to a blood clot forming inside the stent, which can cause a sudden and life-threatening heart attack. Always talk to your cardiologist first, and inform any other doctor or dentist that you are on Plavix before any surgery or procedure.
