Anticoagulants and anti-platelets increase the chance of hemorrhage in the brain.
So while they prevent ischemic stroke and help with circulation, they might cause hemorrhagic stroke. The dose and time duration has to be carefully adjusted. It’s a slippery slope in dealing with cerebrovascular accidents.
Anti platelets (specially Aspirin 80 and Clopidogrel) are less risky than anticoagulants (such as heparin or warfarin).
