Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is good to see her recovering. After an ischemic stroke Ecosprin should be used continuously it should not be stopped during periods, so yes she should continue taking it. You need to stop it if there is bleeding from abnormal sites like gum bleeding, or nose bleeding then you consider stopping it with advice of your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
