Anticoagulants slow down clotting thereby reducing fibrin formation and preventing clots. Drug-related problems are a major concern in the view of physical, psychological, and economic burden to patients.</p> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> The aim of the research work is to access, evaluate and monitor the drug-related problems on antiplatelet and anticoagulants in stroke patients.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> In this study 300 numbers of patients were screened including both males and females of all age groups in a super specialty hospital.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>The number of ADRs was found to be predominantly associated with a male as compared to females as well as most ADRs were reported for patients with cardiac stroke as compared to ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Low molecular weight heparins, aspirin, clopidogrel drugs resulted in various adverse drug reactions. Mostly 114 cases of ADR were due to drug-drug interactions followed by drug-food interactions and drug ethanol interactions as was concluded from the study.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Pharmacovigilance and Drug Research}, author={Mounika Thogaru}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={15-18} }
