A combination of antihypertensive, antithrombotic, and/or lipid modifying drugs after a recent noncardioembolic stroke is associated with a significantly lower risk of stroke, major vascular events, and death, the analysis of an international multicenter trial involving 3,680 recent noncardioembolic stroke patients revealed. Patients (>= 35 years old) were categorized by appropriateness level 0 to III depending on the number of drugs prescribed divided by the number of drugs potentially indicated for each patient and followed for 2 years. A significant protective effect of the triple class therapy was seen on stroke (0.37, 95% CI 0.16-0.90), major vascular events (0.34, 95% CI 0.18–0.62), and all-cause death (0.25, 95% CI 0.0-0.74). The drug combination should be considered as an integral part of a comprehensive recurrent stroke prevention strategy that includes efforts to reduce smoking, increase physical activity, and control diet.
