TIA Treatment Guidelines Handout

The usual treatment for a TIA involves managing underlying risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol through lifestyle changes and medications to prevent a future stroke.

Antiplatelet therapy, typically with aspirin, is considered the first line of medication for TIA to reduce the risk of blood clot formation that can lead to a stroke.

Immediately after a transient ischaemic attack (TIA), seek medical attention even if symptoms have resolved. It's crucial to undergo diagnostic tests to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment to prevent a recurrent stroke risk.
