Plavix Black Box Warning Issued: May Not Work in Some Patients March 15, 2010 Staff Writers Add Your Comments A “Black Box” warning has been placed on the anti-blood clotting drug Plavix, alerting patients and health care professionals that the drug may not work effectively in some patients due to genetics. This could cause serious or life-threatening injuries for individuals given the medication to reduce the risk of heart attack, unstable angina, stroke or cardiovascular death among those with cardiovascular disease. The FDA announced the Plavix boxed warning warning on Friday, warning doctors that they should consider another anti-clotting drug for patients who are confirmed to be poor metabolizers of Plavix through genetic testing. The FDA said a genetic test is available which will determine whether patients are able to metabolize Plavix efficiently. The black box warning is the most stringent warning label the FDA can require on a drug. Learn More About Plavix Lawsuits Lawsuits over Plavix filed for bleeding, ulcers other health problems.

Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Plavix (clopidogrel) is a blood thinner that prevents blood platelets from sticking together to form clots. It is a blockbuster medication, generating annual sales of over $6 billion for Bristol Myers Squibb Co. and Sanofi-Aventis. In August 2009, researchers from the University of Maryland identified a gene variant found in about one-third of the population that may signal a reduced effectiveness of Plavix. The people with the CYP2C19 variant have reduced functioning of a liver enzyme that is supposed to covert Plavix from its inactive form to its active form, potentially making Plavix ineffective at reducing the risk of blood clots. The genetic variant is found in about 30% of Caucasians and blacks, and up to 60% of Asians. Simple genetic tests using DNA from blood or saliva can identify poor Plavix metabolizers. The tests are estimated to cost about $500, however, identifying poor Plavix metabolizers could prevent patients from being unnecessarily exposed to risk of Plavix side effects, such as an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers and a possible increase in the risk of heart attacks or strokes for those with high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Bristol Myers Squibb Co. and Sanofi-Aventis currently face a number of Plavix lawsuits filed by plaintiffs who claim that the drug maker failed to adequately warn about problems associated with use of their drug.

It is 2% of whites, 4% of blacks and 14% of chineese. Three percent of the overall population. It is not a problem in people who inherit this genetic defect from only one parent. It is only seen when they inherit it from both parents and are considered “poor metabolizers” vs. “intermmediate metabolizers”. n. duggan March 15, 2010 I think the company Bristol myers should pay for any test that need to be done. I am taking a great risk by taking Plavix.My life is in their hands.I would like to know that all I pay for this drug will help me to live, not hurt me, or should I say kill me. Ariella March 15, 2010 I heard years ago that Aspirin by itself prevents clots as well as Aspirin and Plavix together. It just cost much more, since Plavix is an expensive drug.
