Stroke treatment: Immediate treatment
In hospital, brain scans are needed to find out what type of stroke you've had.

If a blood clot is the cause, ‘clot busting’ medication may be used to dissolve the clot, but this must be given within three hours of the stroke. Anti-clotting medication such as aspirin may also be given to stop the stroke from getting worse.
Anti-clotting medication is not given in strokes caused by haemorrhaging because it will make the bleeding worse.
