For most ischemic stroke patients, there is no role for long-term dual antiplatelet therapy with the combination of aspirin and clopidogrel
In the EHRA practical guide, for example, triple antithrombotic therapy with a NOAC, aspirin, and clopidogrel is recommended for 3 months in patients with atrial
Antiplatelet drugs and oral anticoagulants are
Antiplatelet Monotherapy Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation
In a randomized trial, we assigned patients with minor ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA to receive either clopidogrel at a loading dose of 600 mg on day 1, followed by 75 mg per day, plus aspirin Side effects and complications of taking daily aspirin include: Stroke caused by a burst blood vessel
Aspirin and clopidogrel increased major bleeding by an absolute
Triple vs Dual Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Coronary Artery
Keywords: Aneurysm, Dissecting, Anticoagulants, Aspirin, Atrial Fibrillation, Cardiac Surgical Procedures, Carotid Treatment with aspirin plus clopidogrel or a similar drug—known as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)—has been shown to reduce heart attacks and stent thrombosis in patients with ACS but not stroke associated with AFib
Aspirin offers only modest protection against stroke for patients with AF A low dose of aspirin (less than 100 mg per day) or clopidogrel (75 mg per day) may be given The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) has updated their 2012 guidelines on the use of antithrombotic medications for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)

Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) released its final recommendations on low-dose aspirin therapy for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults: people who have a history of heart attack, atrial fibrillation (AFib), stroke or vascular stenting should continue to take low-dose
The combination of Plavix and aspirin is called dual antiplatelet therapy
The primary end point was major or clinically relevant bleeding with a mean follow-up period
Antiplatelet drugs and oral anticoagulants are examples of antithrombotic medications and are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in both primary and secondary care
