Abstract
There is a wide range of drugs with the potential to cause ischaemic stroke. Whilst the absolute risk of stroke with commonly used drugs is low, a patient’s background risk of stroke can increase their chance of stroke in combination with a particular drug. Careful decision-making is required when initiating and continuing treatment to ensure the risk-benefit profile of a drug is weighed appropriately on an individual patient basis.
