Brief answer....you should not stop ecosporin
Detailed answer.....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query  and understand your concern.
ARGININE helps in relaxing blood vessels and improves blood circulation. There is some evidence which suggests that it helps in improving circulation in arteries of heart,however to stop ecosporin and take arginine in its place is not a wise step I'm my opinion.
There is evidence that chances of strokes and heart attacks are increased if ecosporin is stopped.
In my opinion you should not stop ecosporin,however it would be better if you discuss about it with your cardiologist and seek his opinion.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any other query.
Best of luck
Thanks
