Introduction
To prevent vascular hardening, medications such as lipid-lowering agents, antiplatelet aggregation drugs, anticoagulants, and cerebral vasodilators may be used. Simvastatin tablets and rosuvastatin calcium tablets can help soften blood vessels. Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate and enteric-coated aspirin tablets can be taken to prevent vascular hardening. Treatments may also include enteric-coated Bayer aspirin tablets, warfarin sodium tablets, flunarizine hydrochloride capsules, and compound danshen tablets.
To prevent vascular hardening, medications such as lipid-lowering agents, antiplatelet aggregation drugs, anticoagulants, and cerebral vasodilators can be used under medical supervision.
1. Lipid-lowering drugs: Patients may take medications such as simvastatin tablets or rosuvastatin calcium tablets under a doctor's guidance. These drugs help lower blood lipids, soften blood vessels, and prevent vascular hardening.
2. Antiplatelet aggregation drugs: It is recommended to take antiplatelet drugs under medical supervision. Commonly used medications include clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate and enteric-coated aspirin tablets. These help inhibit abnormal platelet aggregation and prevent platelet deposition on the vascular intima, effectively reducing the risk of vascular hardening.
3. Anticoagulants: If patients cannot tolerate antiplatelet therapy or if such treatment proves ineffective, anticoagulant medications may be taken under a doctor’s guidance. Common options include enteric-coated aspirin (e.g., Bayer Aspirin) and warfarin sodium tablets.
4. Cerebral vasodilators: Under medical supervision, patients may take cerebral vasodilating agents such as flunarizine hydrochloride capsules or compound danshen tablets to improve cerebral microcirculation and help prevent vascular hardening.
