My mother (93) has just had a mild tia. she is on clopidogrel, lansoprazole, amlodipine, losartan/hydrochlorothiazid, simvastatin, mirtazapine, buprenorphine patches. should she also take an aspirin daily?

In principle yes,: If the clopidogrel is for cardiac condition . If it was given for the TIA , there must be reason why she was not on asa instead of clopidogrel. At this age , we do not need to be too aggressive so that we will not cause more harm than good . This is not in any way to say that older people need less help.

Absolutely NOT: The addition of asa to clopidigrel doubles the risk of intracranial hemorrhage without providing any additional protection.
