ischemic stroke, prophylaxis
"I experienced multiple transient ischemic strokes and my neurologist prescribed Aggrenox.  Following the first dose I felt my head was going to explode and got extremely nauseated.  I ended up in the emergency room.  I now list Aggrenox as a medication that I am allergic to because of the severe side effects.  I continue to use Aspirin, Plavix and other medications to try to prevent strokes."
