An anticoagulant is a medication that helps prevent blood clots, which can reduce the risk of a stroke. If the doctor has determined that Harry is at risk for a stroke, prescribing an anticoagulant would be a suitable treatment option. The other options (statin, diuretic, low-sodium diet) may be used to manage other conditions, but they are not directly aimed at preventing a stroke.
