FEBRUARY – MARCH 2021

The definition of stroke according to the World Health Organization
(WHO) is a condition in which clinical signs develop rapidly in the form of focal
and global neurologic deficits, which can be severe and last for 24 hours or more
and or can cause death, in the absence of other causes clearly other than vascular.
Stroke is divided into two categories, namely ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic
stroke. Ischemic stroke is a cerebral blood circulation disorder due to blockage of
blood vessels without bleeding. One of the causes of ischemic stroke is platelet
aggregation to form a thrombus that can clog arteries in the brain, so that one of the
therapies in ischemic stroke patients is the use of antiplatelet agents, namely
Aspirin, Clopidogrel, and Cilostazol as antithrombotic. In most patients, they can
feel uncomfortable with the side effects of the drug, causing discontinuation of the
drug. Undesirable drug effects are an important concern regarding the use of
antiplatelets. Based on this description, the purpose of this study was to examine
the side effects of antiplatelet drugs in ischemic stroke patients in outpatient
treatment at "X" Hospital in the period February - March 2021.
The research method is non-experimental with data collection through a
cross-sectional approach. There were 32 samples that met the inclusion criteria. The
results of this study reported that the drug side effects that occurred were bleeding
in 2 people (6.25%), headache/dizziness in 3 people (9.4%), gastrointestinal pain in
1 person (3.2%), nausea/vomiting in 1 person (3.2%), and urticaria in 1 person
(3.2%).
