Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been taking ecosprin AV but he's been having some abdomen pain, so the doctor suggested a USG, and they also mentioned theyll do a TMT test. In the meantime, they've switched his medication from ecosprin AV to a mix of Telmisartan and Metaprolol Succinate until they can do the TMT test. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the USG and TMT tests done today. Is it safe for him to stop taking ecosprin AV for now?

Accepted Answer

it is advisable to follow your doctor's instructions regarding medication changes. In this case, since your father's medication has been changed from Ecosprin AV to Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination, it is important to continue with the new medication as prescribed. Once the TMT test and USG are conducted, the doctor will be able to provide further guidance based on the results. It is generally not recommended to stop medication abruptly without consulting the doctor. Therefore, please continue with the Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination as advised by the doctor
