The key is E. Add statin only. [He who is already on aspirin needs no change in aspirin dose.
Clopidogrel is now drug of choice for secondary prevention in TIA but if someone is already on aspirin he
should continue it as same dose and should be considered to shift to clopidogrel in next few visits. So for
given case correct option is add statin only].
