Does Deriphyllin And Ecosprin Cause Fatigue?
Hi, My father is 68 and used to be a chain smoker. Recently was diagnosed with high BP Chronic infarct right basal ganglia and acute infarct bicapsulo ganglionic region. However Former didn t show any symptoms in the past but latter caused slurred speech And slight paralysis on right side .Was prescribed with deriphyllin & ecosprin 150mg BD for 2 months. It s been a month now but I guess the medicines are causing fatigue. Can u pls tell me whether this is a high dosage? Also What are chances that another infarct is caused while taking ecosprin regularly?

Hello,
No this is not a high dose your father is taking, it fits him well. As for the incidence of another infarction , it is very low as long as he take his aspirin regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
