Introduction
Under normal circumstances, cerebral infarction refers to cerebral infarction (brain infarction), which may be caused by factors such as aging, increased blood viscosity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment with medications such as amlodipine besylate tablets, losartan potassium tablets, and amlodipine/atorvastatin calcium tablets.

Generally speaking, cerebral infarction refers to cerebral infarct. Medications such as cytidine diphosphate choline sodium capsule, aspirin enteric-coated tablet, clopidogrel tablet, atorvastatin tablet, and Naoshuantong capsule may be used in treating cerebral infarction. It is recommended to take these medications under the guidance of a physician. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Cytidine Diphosphate Choline Sodium Capsule

This medication belongs to the class of neuroprotective drugs. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and directly act on the central nervous system, improving the efficiency of neurotransmission. It is commonly used clinically for neurological deficits caused by acute craniocerebral injury and stroke.

2. Aspirin Enteric-Coated Tablet

This is an antiplatelet aggregation drug that works by irreversibly inhibiting platelet cyclooxygenase, preventing the synthesis of thromboxane A₂ and thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation, reducing the risk of thrombosis. The enteric-coated formulation reduces the risk of gastric mucosal damage, although bleeding tendency should still be monitored.

3. Clopidogrel Tablet

This is also an antiplatelet drug that prevents thrombosis by inhibiting platelet aggregation. It is indicated for both treatment and prevention of cerebral infarction. It can be used in combination with aspirin enteric-coated tablets to significantly enhance the antithrombotic effect.

4. Atorvastatin Tablet

This drug is primarily used to regulate blood lipid levels and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby preventing the occurrence of cerebral atherosclerosis and indirectly reducing the risk of cerebral infarction.

5. Naoshuantong Capsule

This is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and dispels wind. It is indicated for the treatment of ischemic stroke and can improve cerebral blood circulation and promote recovery of neurological function.

It is also important to maintain a balanced diet in daily life, reducing intake of salt, sugar, saturated fats, and cholesterol, while increasing consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and high-quality proteins to help maintain vascular health.

Can cerebral infarction be cured?
Stroke does not necessarily result in immediate paralysis. Recovery depends on the size of the lesion, timing of treatment, and individual patient factors. For some patients, if they reach the hospital within the "golden 4.5 hours," intravenous thrombolytic therapy can reopen the blocked blood vessel and reduce the risk of disability. Alteplase and urokinase are commonly used thrombolytic agents. In cases of major vessel occlusion, mechanical thrombectomy may also be performed.
