AB Drugs that prevent platelets from sticking together—ie, aspirin, dipyridamole, and clopidogrel—are an important part of therapy to prevent recurrence of ischemic stroke of atherosclerotic origin. We discuss current indications for these drugs and review the evidence behind our current use of aspirin, dipyridamole, and clopidogrel.
