Solution

Laura's doctor is likely to prescribe an antiplatelet agent. This class of medication helps prevent blood clots from forming by inhibiting the clumping together of platelets in the blood, which is a common cause of arterial thrombosis. This can help to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke caused by a blockage in the arteries.
