What drugs do they give you after a heart attack?

My friend had a heart attack. What drugs do they give you after a heart attack?

3 Answers

Antiplatelet medications (like aspirin, brillinta, beta blocker, ACE inhibitor or ARB, statins)
(4) classes
Aspirin
Plavix or Ticagrelor or Prasugrel
Statin (Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin)
Beta blockers (Metoprolol)
It depends if after the heart attack any stents have been placed or not. Patients after a heart attack should take one or two blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering medication, and blood pressure medications. They should quit smoking altogether.
