Once a blood clot forms, warfarin keeps the clot formation in check, allowing the body's natural processes to break it down.

Plavix and aspirin are antiplatelet medication that help prevent coangulation.  Each have different mechanisms for antiplatelet formation.  The risk is excessive bleeding if prone to bleeding episodes.
