Hi Aamir Khan,
Thank you for posting your query.
Marevan (warfarin) is an anticoagulant and loprin (aspirin) is an antiplatelet. Both these drugs keep the blood thin, and ensure that blood clots do not form, thus preventing the stroke recurrence.
Generally, these medications are required life-long, however, your doctor would help you more in this regard.
The commonest side effects are bleeding- such as from nose, in urine, while passing stools, from gums while brushing teeth. If any of these occur, please discuss with your doctor.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
