Aspirin

Categories: Over the Counter Medication, Prescription Medication

Description:

Aspirin is effective in ischemic stroke because it lowers the risk of clot progression and prevents new clots from forming, which reduces the chance of stroke worsening or recurrence. Studies have shown that early use of aspirin after an ischemic stroke decreases the likelihood of another stroke and modestly improves overall recovery outcomes. Over the long term, continuing aspirin helps maintain protection by reducing the risk of future vascular events such as recurrent stroke and heart attack. Its proven benefit in both the acute and preventive phases makes it one of the most reliable and widely used therapies in stroke care.
