I'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking ecospirin 75 after recovering from COVID. Is there a recommended time to keep taking it if I only had mild symptoms? And what happens if I stop using it after a month? Could there be any side effects from stopping it so soon?

Ecospirin 75 is a brand name for aspirin. Aspirin is often prescribed post-Covid recovery to prevent blood clots. The duration for taking aspirin post-Covid recovery varies depending on individual risk factors and the severity of the illness. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding the duration of aspirin therapy. Stopping aspirin abruptly after 1 month of Covid recovery may increase the risk of blood clots, especially if you were prescribed aspirin for this purpose. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before discontinuing any medication, including aspirin, to avoid any potential side effects or complications.
