I'm really worried about my friend who has sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma; the doctor recommended an inhaler and the medicine ecosprin AV75. I'm concerned about the possible side effects of ecosprin AV75. Also, how long should my friend keep taking it? Is it something they should continue indefinitely or stop at some point?

Ecosprin AV 75 is a combination medication containing Aspirin and Atorvastatin. It is commonly used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in patients with cardiovascular disease. Some common side effects of Ecosprin AV 75 include stomach upset, heartburn, dizziness, and easy bruising. In rare cases, it can also cause more serious side effects such as stomach bleeding or liver problems. The duration of Ecosprin AV 75 treatment should be determined by your friend's doctor based on their individual medical condition. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions regarding when to stop or continue the medication. In general, Ecosprin AV 75 is usually taken long-term to prevent cardiovascular events, but the duration may vary depending on the specific situation. It is important not to stop taking Ecosprin AV 75 without consulting the doctor first, as sudden discontinuation can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been battling COVID since the start of April, and while she was officially diagnosed on the 7th via an RTPCR test, she's had all sorts of symptoms like fever, loose motion, cold, dry cough, chest pain, and even some trouble breathing. We did a chest CT scan and an echo test before the RTPCR, and those showed moderate pneumonia with a CT score of 925. After getting treatment in the hospital with stuff like multivitamins, vitamin C, doxycycline, ceftriaxone, pantoprazole, and enoxaparin injections for 6-7 days, she seems better and she's been discharged. But now she's still having a bit of a cough and some loose motion, like 2-3 times a day. I'm really keen to know what kind of post-COVID treatment or tests she might need. What should we be careful about while she's recovering? Is there anything specific we should watch out for or any medications she should continue with?
continue multivitamin tablet for 15 days, no need of any tests
