In order for disturbances to become winter storms there are three key factors: cold air (below-freezing temperatures facilitate the production of snow and ice); moisture (which forms clouds and precipitation); and lift (which raises the moist air to form clouds, precipitation, and fronts).
Clopidogrel (PlavixÂ®) is an antiplatelet/platelet aggregation inhibitor drug that is used to help prevent another stroke. It does this by decreasing the bloodâs ability to clot. This means that when you get a cut or scratch it will take a little longer to stop bleeding.
Anticoagulation Medication (Blood Thinners) If you receive a mechanical heart valve, your doctor will likely prescribe an anticoagulant medication (blood thinner) to prevent blood clots from forming on or around your new valve. The most common anticoagulation drug prescribed is warfarin (CoumadinÂ®).
