What does a newly approved medication mean for people who have had a stroke or TIA? Join First Choice Neurology and Dr. Jeff Gelblum for a live discussion about Sunharbo (asundexian), a new option for reducing the risk of a future stroke in certain adults.
The FDA approved Sunharbo last week for use alongside antiplatelet medication in adults who recently had a mild-to-moderate stroke caused by a clot that did not come from the heart, or a high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA).
