Sanofi and Bristol Myers Squibb jointly developed and initially marketed Plavix (clopidogrel). However, Sanofi now holds the exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute Plavix in the US.
Generic versions of clopidogrel are widely available. These are manufactured by various pharmaceutical companies globally, including Teva, Mylan, and Apotex. Check your prescription to identify the specific manufacturer of your medication.
For accurate information about specific manufacturers and their current distribution agreements, consult the FDA’s drug database or your pharmacist. They can provide up-to-date details on the sources of clopidogrel in your region.
Always confirm the legitimacy of your Plavix or generic clopidogrel source through verified channels to ensure you receive a safe and effective medication.
Contact your physician or pharmacist if you have questions concerning the source or manufacturing details of your prescription medication.
