Can Blood Thinners Be Taken When Suffering From Mini Strokes?
Question: Should my elderly mother who has mini strokes be on blood thinners?
Brief Answer:
She needs only antiagregants...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through the medical history of your mother and feel sorry for the situation your mother is in.
As long as your mom is not having fibrilation and she is old, then, there is no need to take anticoagulants (e.g.warfarin, etc.).
To my opinion, she needs only antiagregants, e.g. aspirin, clopidogrel, et.
Hope it helped!
