Medication After Stroke

Treatment after immediate care aims to:

• Reduce the chance of recurrent strokes
• Improve the functional outcome of the affected function by the stroke
• Overcome disabilities
• Decrease blood pressure and control hypertension
• Correct irregular heart rhythms and blood coagulation parameters
• Treat the cause of the stroke-like significant vessel stenosis or blood clots in the heart
• Treat the hyperlipidemia, high LDL cholesterol

Your doctor may recommend aspirin and other blood thinning medications viz Clopidogrel or Ticagrelor that decrease the risk of blood clot formation after immediate care.

Supportive care may also include:

• Oxygen therapy
• Precautions to prevent choking

Stroke Prevention Procedures After a First Stroke

These techniques treat the narrowing of the brain’s blood vessels, preventing more strokes:

• Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) — fatty deposits are removed from major arteries in the neck, which reduces the stroke by 16% in the next two years.
• Carotid angioplasty and stenting — a procedure to widen and support the major artery in the neck with a mesh tube or stent. The procedure will help open the artery and allow better blood flow.
