I have been diagnosed with 90% blockage in a blood vessel and have been prescribed Ecosprin-AV 75 Capsule for it. How effective is the medication?
Ecosprin-AV 75 is commonly prescribed for people with blockage in the blood vessels because it helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and further worsening of blockage. It usually contains aspirin, which helps prevent blood clots, and a cholesterol-lowering medicine that helps reduce harmful cholesterol and stabilise fatty deposits inside the blood vessels. While the medicine is very important and effective in reducing future complications, a 90% blockage is considered severe, so treatment often depends on which blood vessel is affected, your symptoms, and your overall heart condition. In some people, medicines alone may help control the condition, while others may need additional procedures such as angioplasty with stent placement or bypass surgery if blood flow is significantly reduced. It is very important to take the medicine regularly, exactly as prescribed, and not stop it suddenly without medical advice. Along with medicines, lifestyle changes such as avoiding smoking, controlling blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, eating a healthy low-fat diet, regular walking as advised by the doctor, stress control, and maintaining a healthy weight are also essential for better long-term results. You should seek urgent medical attention if you develop chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or weakness, as these symptoms may indicate reduced blood flow to the heart or brain. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is important to monitor your condition and decide whether additional treatment is needed.
