Brief Answer:
Yes. The medications and vitamins are "right".

Detailed Answer:
Hi!

I am Dr. Neel Kudchadkar from Health Care Magic and I will help you now. I have examined your question and list of drugs provided very carefully and being your personal doctor, I will take care of all your medical needs.

I have also noted the fact that there is a possible Alzheimer's issue.

Keeping this in mind;

*I strongly suggest that you lower the dose of Aspirin by half. This is because aspirin interacts with the other drugs to cause fluctuations in blood pressure.
*Omega 3 can cause increased bleeding tendencies so it can also be omitted.

As you mention, I am confirming that indeed, all the Med's & Vitamins are on board.

Feel free to write back to me to express any doubts or questions.

Most sincerely,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar.

Brief Answer:
half an aspirin a day and omega - 3's as per your personal convenience.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again!

I sincerely apologize for the delay.
Thanks a million for your patience.

I would ask you to take half a tablet of aspirin a day.
This is because of the way aspirin works.

You are free to stop omega - 3 completely.
It produces some problems in certain persons, but not everyone.
Depending on your personal preference and judgement, you might either keep
taking it or take it in moderation or stop it.

The remaining medicines remain the same.
Please continue with the regimen (meaning - group of drugs).

Most Sincerely,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
