    Not only is Plavix being outperformed by other blood thinners, but research also suggests that it is no better than Aspirin at preventing heart attacks, stroke and other thromboembolic events. There is a substantial amount of research, for instance, showing that a combination of Aspirin and Plavix is no better than Aspirin alone. This may come as a surprise for a lot patients, because manufacturers have been claiming for years that Plavix is a better version of Aspirin which is supposedly why it costs 100x more. Overall, it seems that Plavix (clopidogrel) is losing popularity as a blood thinner.
