depends on the stent if its drug eluting (coated with stuff that works like teflon) or if its a bare metal stent. bare metal stents usally require plavix for a year, drug eluting at least 3 months. but this is usually up to the cardiologist. and a lot of cardiologist prefer to keep to patients on plavix indefinitely as a precaution.

Is there a generic substitute for Plavix?

Plavix Generic? Yes, the brand name medication Plavix will eventually come off patent. As a matter of fact about two years ago there was a generic on the market in the US but it got pulled off the market - I believe the name brand manufacturer (Bristol-Myers Squibb) won a patent extension. However, other countries do offer generics before they come available in the US. For example, Plavix equivalents are available now, manufactured by CIPLA Pharmaceuticals in India.
