Suddenly yesterday she developed numbness on one side of body for 1 hour After CT scan she seemed to have blood clot in head Doctor prescribed Ecospirin av 75 What is the use of that medicine and side effects Is there any cure for blood clotting
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your mothers-in-law symptoms and findings. Based on that, she seems to have suffered a brain stroke (lack of blood flow to brain). Ecosprin AV consists of aspirin and atorvastatin. Aspirin is a blood thinner and atorvastatin controls cholesterol levels. Both these medicines prevent the recurrence of brain stroke. They are reasonably safe medicines. In addition, her diabetes should be kept under control too. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
