View allMy dad got his first Covaxin dose today and he stopped taking Ecosprin AV 75 two days ago. I'm wondering if it's okay for him to start taking it again now or if he should wait a couple more days.
"Dear SirMam, your father can continue taking Ecosprin AV 75 along with Covaxin. There is no need to stop it for 2-3 more days. The combination is safe and can be continued as prescribed. The usual dosage for Ecosprin AV 75 is one tablet once daily."

I'm a bit concerned about a medication change I went through. So, originally, I was prescribed Telma 40 AMH at Pace Hospital in Hyderabad, but I started experiencing some leg swelling. Then, at Manipal Hospital in Vijayawada, they switched me over to Cinod T, and I've been on it for about two months now. Should I keep taking the Cinod T, or do you think the original Telma 40 AMH was adequate? Could the leg swelling have been something I should worry about related to the Telma 40 AMH, or is it safe to switch back?
Telma 40 AMH is a combination drug containing Telmisartan and Amlodipine, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Cinod T is a combination drug containing Cilnidipine and Telmisartan, also used for high blood pressure. Since you experienced leg swelling with Telma 40 AMH, it may be advisable to continue with Cinod T as prescribed by Manipal, Vijayawada. Cinod T can be continued if it is effectively controlling your blood pressure without causing any significant side effects. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
