What you can control |
The most widely known and used anti-platelet drug is aspirin. Anti-platelet drugs prevent clotting and reduce the risk of ischemic strokes. Some physicians prescribe aspirin for a person who has had a TIA (called mini-stroke) or those at risk for stroke.
It's very important for you not to take aspirin on your own without the advice of your doctor. Aspirin has been known to cause bleeding in some patients.
