ABSTRACT
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It has well modifiable risk factors, which makes prevention an effective strategy. Antithrombotics and anticoagulants have been the main pharmacological options in secondary prevention. A number of new antiplatelet drugs have been introduced over the past decade. The more recent concepts in the understanding of stroke and atherosclerosis have paved the way for a number of newer pharmacological interventions like angiotensin enzyme inhibitors, statins and vitamins. The pharmacological armamentarium to treat stroke is expanding.
