WHAT PLAX IS USED FOR
Plax is taken to prevent blood clots
(thrombi) forming in hardened blood
vessels (arteries), a process known as
atherothrombosis, which can lead to
atherothrombotic events (such as
stroke, heart attack, or death).
You have been prescribed Plax to help
prevent blood clots and reduce the risk
of these severe events because:

You have a condition of
hardening of arteries (also known
as atherosclerosis), and

You have previously experienced
a heart attack, stroke or have a
condition known as peripheral
arterial disease, or

You have experienced a severe
type of chest pain known as
‘unstable angina’ or ‘myocardial
infarction’ (heart attack). For the
treatment of this condition your
doctor may have placed a stent in
the blocked or narrowed artery to
restore effective blood flow. You
should also be given
acetylsalicylic acid (a substance
present in many medicines used
to relieve pain and lower fever as
well as to prevent blood clotting)
by your doctor.
Indication only applicable to Plax
Film Coated Tablet 75mg

You have an irregular heartbeat, a
condition called 'atrial
fibrillation', and you cannot take
medicines known as 'oral
anticoagulants' (vitamin K
antagonists) which prevent new
clots from forming and prevent
existing clots from growing.
You should have been told that 'oral
anticoagulants' are more effective than
acetylsalicylic acid or the combined
use of Plax and acetylsalicylic acid for
this condition. Your doctor should
have prescribed Plax plus
acetylsalicylic acid if you cannot take
'oral anticoagulants' and you do not
have a risk of major bleeding.
