A 61-year-old patient with a sudden numbness of the right arm and hand and signs of amnestic aphasia is admitted to the stroke unit with the diagnosis of an acute ischemic stroke for systemic thrombolysis. Based on a case-report, drug-related problems are discussed according to the SOAP scheme. Aspects of pharmaceutical care such as counselling by a pharmacist about secondary prevention, discharge information and a pharmaceutical care plan in the community pharmacy are described.
