injection of a blood clot dissolving agent, such as rtPA, to disband the unwanted clot involved in a stroke. The clot dissolving drug is an effective emergency treatment to unclog a blocked blood vessel or artery. Unfortunately, this drug is not suitable for every patient and it must be administered within a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.strokefund.org\/noflash\/prevention_part2.php\">three-hour<\/a><\/strong> window from the onset of stroke symptoms for maximal effect.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"style2 text\"><span class=\"text\">Another treatment for ischemic stroke is the use of antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulant drugs. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"text\"><span style=\"color: #f6891e;\"><strong><strong>Hemorrhagic Stroke<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"style2 text\"><span class=\"text\">There are no known drugs available to stop the damage done to the brain by a hemorrhagic stroke.
