Brief Answer:
not a known side effect

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Plavix is not known to directly cause a cold sensation.

Fever can sometimes be associated with chills (feeling as though you are cold) and plavix can cause a fever.

If you have a fever with chills then plavix could be the cause though an infection would need to be ruled out.

Plavix is associated with upper respiratory tract infections (cough and cold) and urinary tract infections.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
