I am sitting here trying to think of a reason you would not want your medicine to work.  If you are supposed to be taking Plavix becuase you had a heart event, it would be unwise to stop it and risk another cardiac event.  (that's the nurse, AND the mother in me speaking LOL) 

Plavix has a "half life" of 6 hours.  That means after 6 hours half of the drug is metabolized and unavailable to you body and basically ineffective.  The rest of the drug is excreted over the next 5 days.  There is no way to "speed up" the excretion other than filtering by dialysis machine.  

If you have any other questions, please message me.
