Highlights
Statin Drug Approved for Stroke Prevention
- In 2007, the FDA approved the cholesterol drug atorvastatin (Lipitor) to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with heart disease.
- High-dose atorvastatin may help reduce the risk of recurrent stroke in patients who have had a recent stroke or transient ischemic attack, according to a New England Journal of Medicine study.
Drug Warnings
- In 2006, the FDA strengthened the warning label for the anticoagulant drug warfarin (Coumadin) to emphasize its bleeding risks. However, warfarin is still the gold standard treatment for most patients with atrial fibrillation.
- Evidence suggests that people at risk for stroke should avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil) and diclofenac (Cataflam). COX-2 inhibitors should only be used as a last resort for pain relief.
