Objective: To assess the long-term (up to 6 months) safety profile of a 3-month regimen of NeuroAiD for acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: A total of 190 patients with acute ischemic stroke were identified for eligibility in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, of which 150 patients allocated to either receiving NeuroAiD (80 cases) or placebo (70 cases) were analyzed after dropouts due to absence of baseline data, early death, or noncompliance. Both groups received treatment for three months and followed up for another three months after the completion of the treatment.
