What are the treatments for stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stroke treatments: For ischemic stroke, there is a medical treatment called TPA (alteplase) which is given by vein. This is meant to help reverse the cause of an ischemic stroke, and it must be given soon after symptoms start. For a stroke, call 911 to get to the hospital quick, and potentially receive this helpful treatment! Treatment of stroke also depends on caring for factors like blood pressure and blood sugar.
