What Medication and Treatment Should You Take
After a TIA? - Complete Neurological Care
TIA or Transient Ischemic Attack is known to be
Mini Stroke, too, as it happens when the part of
the brain experiences a temporary lack of blood
flow. It leads to stroke-like symptoms that will
resolve within 24 hours. It's seen that the
mini-stroke does not cause any permanent
disability as compared to the stroke condition.
But, as the symptoms of both forms of strokes
are similar, so you need to seek a medical
emergency immediately. Early treatment will save
the people from the onset of stroke. The TIA can
sometimes be challenging to identify, so below
are some of its symptoms
  • Change in vision
  • Language disorder
  • Balancing issue
  • Tingling sensation
  • Passing out and dizziness issues
  • Severe headache
  • Weakness and numbness
  • Abnormal sense of smell and taste
  • So, if the patient has suffered the Transient
    Ischemic Attack, then an early diagnosis with
    follow-up treatment and medication is necessary.
  • Medication and Treatment for TIA

The medications that are given after TIA
includes Antiplatelets medicine includes
aspirin, Aggrenox, and clopidogrel or
Plavix Anticoagulants for short-term use are
heparin, and for long-term use are Apixaban,
Edoxaban, Dabigatran, Warfarin, and
Rivaroxaban. Other treatment alternatives
against the medications include the
following The patient needs to go through the
'Minimally invasive carotid intervention' where
the surgical procedure involves assessing the
carotid arteries with a 'catheter.' Here, the
doctors use this treatment to open up the clogged
arteries. A small stent or a small wire tube is
put inside the artery to improve the brain's
blood flow.
In case you are not the right candidate for the
'carotid angioplasty' and the 'stenting'
procedure, your doctor will recommend a proper
surgery called 'carotid endarterectomy.' In this
surgical technique, the doctor will clear the
plaques and fatty deposits in the carotid
arteries. It can further decrease the risk of
mini-stroke or stroke. A few lifestyle changes
and the medications will also help you avert the
chances of a mini-stroke. These are losing
weight, reducing stress levels, reducing the
intake of sugar-based or fried food, exercising,
improvement in control of other medications taken
for high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood
pressure.
