Hello,

Thanks for writing to HealthCareMagic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

These ingredients dont thin out the blood infact they reduce cholesterol and ionic oxygen radicals which cause damage to arteries. This being said i would suggest you to keep using medications suggested by your doctor and do not leave them With time after regular follow ups your doctor will suggest you to increase or reduce medication according to situation.



I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Regards.
