ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

In a previous video, we covered the importance of clot prevention in heart attack and stroke prevention. Plavix was the first option to coumadin. It is on the WHO list of Essential Medications. This means it's been found safe, effective and necessary. It costs about $25/month is the US.
The major side effects are the same as all the other anti-clotting or anti-platelet drugs: bleeding or hemorrhage.
There were other issues mentioned but not covered in depth:
relatively higher benefit for smokers;
dipyridamole;
CHAD2VAS2.
Here's the thing, the big issue - less than 1/3 of people needing this medication are actually taking it. Why? Patients blame docs, docs blame Pharma, ... Let's forget blame and get proper protection for people with atrial fibrillation, post-stroke, and other indications.
Clopidogrel/Plavix: where does it fit between coumadin and the NOACs? diseases caused by air pollution | |
