Overview

The medical therapy of ischemic stroke is mainly directed to fibrinolysis of clot by r-tPA with in 3 to 4.5 hours of symptom onset. Acute treatment with antiplatelets may have a role if given within 24-48 hours of stroke onset. Long term management with statins, antiplatelets, anticoagulants, antihypertensive and antidiabetic agents may help prevent the recurrence.[1] Acute treatment to control blood pressure, blood glucose and fever may help prevent the complications and have a prognostic significance.

Medical treatment Drug class Recommendations
Acute Long-Term
Reperfusion therapy Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
  • Recommended within 3-4.5 hours of onset of ischemic stroke in eligible patients[2][3][4][5]
  • None
Antithrombotic agents Antiplatelet agents
  • Oral administration of aspirin (initial dose is 325 mg) is recommended within 24 to 48 hours after stroke onset in most patients[2]
  • Aspirin is contraindicated in patients with ischemic stroke within 24 hours of t-PA administration[2]
  • DAPT therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) is recommended for 90 days in patients with symptomatic intracranial large artery disease
  • Long term therapy with clopidogrel or aspirin extended release dipyridamole may be used for secondary prevention of non cardioembolic stroke
Anticoagulants
  • Parenteral or oral anticoagulation is not recommended within 48 hours of onset of ischemic stroke[6]
  • Oral anticoagulants may be used for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation or other cardioembolic disease[7]
Antilipid therapy Statins
  • Among patients already taking statins at the time of onset of ischemic stroke, continuation of statin therapy during the acute period is reasonable[2]
  • Long term management of ischemic stroke with high intensity statins may be recommended for patients with atherosclerotic disease
  • Patients who cannot tolerate high intensity dose, medium or low intensity statins may prove beneficial
Antihypertensive therapy Intravenous antihypertensives

(Labetolol, nitroprusside)

  • Used to control high blood pressure in patients with BP>185/110 mmHg before starting t-PA[2]
  • Long term oral antihypertensives may be used after 24 hours of ischemic stroke in patients having history of hypertension
Oral antihypertensive therapy
  • Long term oral antihypertensives may be used after 24 hours of ischemic stroke in patients having history of hypertension
Antihyperglycemic agents Insulin
  • May be used to control blood glucose between range of 140-180 mg/dl since hyperglycemia is associated with worst outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke[2]
  • Long term oral antidiabetic may be used for secondary prevention of ischmeic stroke in patients with diabetes mellitus
