Patients with cerebral infarction can take Panax ginseng, but only as an adjunctive or preventive medication. The drug is a blood activator that can improve blood circulation in the brain, which may instead reduce the signs and symptoms in patients with cerebral infarction, but not as an acute medication in the acute phase. In the acute stage of cerebral infarction patients, the main application is aspirin anti-platelet coagulation therapy. If cardiogenic cerebral embolism is considered, anticoagulation therapy can also be administered. Commonly used drugs include heparin, low-molecular heparin and warfarin, and neuroprotection is given to improve blood circulation therapy, while butalbital soft capsules are applied to improve somatic signs and symptoms. Thrombolytic therapy can be considered if the patient is suitable for thrombolysis within six hours of onset. Most patients can be cured by rehabilitation and acupuncture treatment if the patient’s condition is stable after one week of onset. Some may have sequelae, which may also cause death.
