Hey, I'm really worried about heart blockages and was wondering if there are any medicines or foods that can help reduce them, maybe even by half or some percentage, if I take them regularly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are medications that can help reduce heart blockage, such as statins like Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin. These medications help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can also help improve heart health and reduce the progression of heart blockage. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are also important factors in reducing heart blockage.

View allI'm currently taking 4mg of Acitrom because I had an AVR procedure. My doctor suggested adding Ecosprin 150 mg, but since Ecosprin is also a blood thinner, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about taking both. Could I be at risk for any complications, or is this combination really safe?
Taking Ecosprin 150 mg along with acitrom can increase the risk of bleeding due to their combined blood-thinning effects. It is important to follow your doctor's advice, but if you have concerns, it is best to discuss them with your doctor.
