Is Aggrenox Intake Advisable When MRI Showed Signs Of Left MCA Infarct And DVT?
I was proscribed Aggrenox when hospitalized in 1/13/12, with what was thought to be a TIA. My CT was negative. Day 2 MRI showed left MCA infract. Day 3 showed evidence of a DVT. My new V A does not understand why this medication was given to me and why I have continued to use it sense my hospitalization. Should I just quit taking this, or should I tell my DR. this medication should be continued.
