Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.

Of course, aspirin is the first line antiplatelet(blood thinner) used in ischemic stroke. It is to be used along with statin(like atorvastatin).

If you can upload your CT scan report, I can advise you accordingly for your treatment.

I shall be looking forward to your follow-up query.
