Why are there lawsuits against Plavix^©?

• Plavix^© has been prescribed to prevent strokes and heart attacks to those as risk for these problems.  Plavix^© (also known as Clopidogrel) has been manufactured and marketed by Sanofi-Aventis and Bristol-Myers Squibb. 
• Through marketing, these companies suggested that the benefits of Plavix^© outperform the cardiovascular benefits of aspirin alone, while being safer on one's stomach, without the patient assuming undue risk.
• The bottom line:
  • Sanofi-Aventis and Bristol-Meyers Squibb allegedly knew of serious health complications associated with taking Plavix^© as prescribed, yet they decided to rush the product to market anyway. 
  • They allegedly falsified claims to the effectiveness of Plavix^©. 
  • After being warned by the FDA to cease their fraudulent advertisements, they did not.
  • They refused to alert the public to known safety concerns.
