A member asked:
I had a hemorrhagic stroke about 1 year ago and what can i take to prevent ischemic stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated: If your stroke was secondary to embolism, consider anti-coagulant, such as warfarin or pradaxa. If this was thrombotic, with secondary bleeding, a good choice might be aggrenox. You are best advised to see a hospital based neurologist who focuses on stroke treatment and prevention.
