Hydrogen will be infused into aqueous solution (normal saline or water) at as high a concentration as possible (saturation = 1.6 ppm), and administered intravenously or orally respectively, q 8 hours for 3 days.
Similarly, Minocycline will be administered either i.v. or p.o. once daily for 5 days.

Normal saline will be substituted for both Hydrogen and Minocycline for intravenous administration. Water will be substituted for hydrogen when administered p.o., and placebo capsules will be substituted for minocycline.

Stroke, Ischemic

Hydrogen will be infused into bags of normal saline solution and administered intravenously, or infused into water for the patient to drink, as the patient's condition permits. This will be administered q 8 hours for 3 days.

Hydrogen

Minocycline 200 mg will be mixed with normal saline and given by i.v. administration, or provided as capsules for the patient to swallow, q 24 hours for 5 days.
Once patients regain the ability to swallow capsules, minocycline will be given orally in capsule form (2 capsules of 100 mg each), administered once daily for the remainder of the 5 day period.

Minocycline

Normal saline solution or water will be administered i.v. or p.o. respectively, in place of hydrogen solution.

Placebo Hydrogen

Normal saline solution or placebo capsule will be administered i.v. or p.o. respectively, in place of minocycline.

rating scale to assess level of functional independence for patients post-stroke. Scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (dead).

15-item neurologic examination scale for severity of stroke. Ratings for each item are scored with 3 to 5 grades. A total NIHSS of 0 is normal; 1-4 is considered a minor stroke; 5-15 moderate; 16-20 moderate to severe; and 21-42 severe.
