Thanks Doctor. I would just try to understand whether on a longer run is it advisable to take Ecoasprin AV 75. If I stop in between are there any side effects.some people say that there might be internal bleeding in the longer run if u take ecoasprin AV 75.As I am 40 yrs now can I take the medicine as per my doctors advise! Kindly ahelp me out!
Hello again,
Ecospirin is given as a prophylactic drug, to avoid any possible coagualopathy in the future. It doesnt really cause any bleeding etc. Only in case of elective surgery, it is stopped before hand to avoid bleeding.
However, in the long run, I don't think you have to worry about that.
You can take the drug as advised by your doctor.
I hope, this answers your query.
