Three of the four links to plavix.com at the end of the article are broken.
:I took care of the dead links (by deleting them).  Why keep the phonetic pronunciation in the first line of the article?  it's not in most of the other drug articles. Ksheka 20:34, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I understand that clopidogrel is metabolized by CYP2C19...   However, does grapefruit juice affect CYP2C19 as it does with CYP3A4?   Does this affect the metabolism of clopidogrel?  --128.227.62.57 (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Hence: not likely to be taken up due to bleeding risk unless concomitant indication (e.g. coronary stents). JFW | T@lk 12:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pharmacogenetics 

message: "Platelet inhibition can be demonstrated two hours after a single dose of oral clopidogrel, but the onset of action is slow, so that a loading-dose of 300–600mg is usually administered" needs clarification - if there is detectable action after 2h this is not particularly slow in most circumstances. Does this mean that (a) onset of clinically relevant [however defined] effect is slower than 2h and is accelerated with a higher loading dose (b) there are some circumstances (e.g. an acute coronary event) where 2h is too slow to be acceptable? --mman444 (talk) 12:17, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I've removed "severe neutropenia" as an adverse effect. There's no reference for it happening frequently. The only thing like it happens rarely (I'm no doctor: Deficiency of Granulocytes a Type of White Blood Cell). The rare serious side effects should not be in the top section of the article because they're too many.

message: A freind of mine reports an allergic reaction using Plavix. An internet search finds frequent occurances. Would somebody here knowledgable like to add this in the Adverse Effects section? Theosch (talk) 07:35, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: , thanks for bringing this up. These are probably not true allergies but hypersensitivity reactions. They are uncommon by percentage, but as clopidogrel is prescribed very frequently, events add up. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 09:02, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
