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.
1 Aspirin is the most common type of antiplatelet medicine. 2  Some patients who are recovering from a heart attack are given aspirin to prevent further blood clots from forming in the coronary arteries. 3  Low-dose aspirin (sometimes called baby aspirin) may prevent heart attacks and strokes in people who take it every day.
