The newly released study warns that those in this combined medication have a reason to stop. The drug combination of Plavix and aspirin not only didn't help most people but it unexpectedly doubled the risk of death, , heart attack or stroke for those with no clogged arteries but with worrisome conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
