Should Ecosprin 75 And Clopitab 75 Be Discontinued After A Brain Stroke?
Question: I got brain stroke 3 months back and recovered. I was prescribed Ecospirin 150 and Clopitab 75. Shall I continue both or discontinue one of them.
Brief Answer:
Medicines to be continued as recommended by treating doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Stroke is a serious condition and requires regular follow up and close monitoring of medicines with clinical examination.
2. CLOPITAB 75 contains clopidogrel 75 mg and is a blood thinner. This will prevent blood from clotting.
3. ECOSPIRIN 150 is aspirin 150 mg and also helps to prevent blood clotting.
4. Clopitab and ecospirin are live saving medicines and should be continued in the way recommended by your doctor. It is too early after 3 months and you should not change any medicines by yourself. Please continue taking medicines might cause serious problems to your health.
5. Clinod contains cilnidipine which is to control blood pressure. Rosuvas contains rosuvastatin and controls cholesterol level. Please continue these medicines also. Other medicines like jalra and concor should also be continued as recommended.
Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
