Cilostazol to prevent another stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug called cilostazol to see if it can help prevent a second stroke or mini-stroke. You may be a candidate if you have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past 6 months and are already taking one blood thinner (aspirin or clopidogrel), but not both.
