Hello,

As your father had an ischemic stroke 2 and a half month back so weakness in limbs is quite an obvious thing for which he needs proper physiotherapy and syndopa can't be stopped in a patient with ischemic stroke because the patient may develop convulsions.

I suggest you continue with the medication and physiotherapy is must in such patients.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Naira Jahangir, OB and GYN Specialist
