What's the bleeding price of Effient?

$5.45 per tablet.

18% more than Plavix.

Also, some national radio program, in announcing the major 'selling' point of the new drug, conveniently failed to mention its major disadvantage. Sure, many companies try to produce an anticoagulant or anti-clotting drug, but the nemesis is incidence of bleeds. Does this new drug have a better safety record than anything else available?
