Some interesting news from the WSJ, warning about the "little purple pill" and other proton pump inhibitors when using Plavix.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124165563240994165.html
The study by pharmacy-benefits company Medco Health Solutions Inc. and the Indiana University School of Medicine showed the four most commonly used proton-pump inhibitors boosted the risk of heart attack and stroke by 50% among cardiac patients taking Plavix.

Best wishes,
