The generic name for the medication Plavix is clopidogrel bisulfate. Doctors prescribe Plavix for patients after a heart attack or stroke or for those who suffer from peripheral arterial disease. Clopidogrel bisulfate prevents blood cells called platelets from sticking together and causing clots, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
