Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your dad s symptoms and diagnosis. Brain stroke can lead to paralysis of arms and legs and loss of speech. It is important to take medications to prevent recurrence of stroke. The most important medications are anti-platelets such as clopidogrel or aspirin, and statins. These are required life-long. In addition, he needs to control any risk factor for stroke such as sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol. The medications are available in all pharmacies in Mumbai and you can purchase on doctor s prescription. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
