Talking with Your Doctor
Your doctor can help you with a treatment plan, which may include taking a medication like AGGRENOX.
After a TIA (transient ischemic attack or “mini-stroke”) or stroke due to a blood clot, it’s vital to work with your doctor to reduce your risk factors for a subsequent stroke. The treatment plan you create with your doctor should address a wide range of risk factors, such as diet, exercise, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other conditions you may have, such as diabetes or heart disease.
