I'm wondering if Preva and Ecosprin AV are actually the same thing or if they're different medications. I'm also a bit concerned about the side effects. Does one have more side effects than the other? Could you help me understand this better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Both Preva and Ecosprin AV are different medications with different active ingredients and mechanisms of action. Preva contains the active ingredient Clopidogrel, while Ecosprin AV contains a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin. In terms of side effects, both medications can cause side effects, but the specific side effects and their likelihood can vary from person to person. Common side effects of Clopidogrel (Preva) include bleeding, bruising, and stomach upset. On the other hand, common side effects of Aspirin and Atorvastatin (Ecosprin AV) include stomach upset, muscle pain, and liver enzyme abnormalities. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine which medication is more suitable for you based on your individual medical history and risk factors.

View allI've been having shoulder pain and pain in my left arm for a week now. It feels like indigestion with belching, and I'm getting really worried. Could this be related to my heart or is it just acidity? Please let me know what's going on, I'm feeling pretty tense about it.
It is important to rule out any cardiac issues, especially when experiencing shoulder pain and left arm pain. However, considering your symptoms of indigestion and belching, it is possible that this could be related to acidity as well. You may try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals for relief from acidity symptoms. Additionally, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg for pain relief in the shoulder and arm. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.

I'm really worried about my dadhe's 61 and had some vomiting because of an acidic problem a couple of days ago, and now he's feeling chest tightness. We got his ECG done, and there was some abnormality, plus the echo cardiograph mentioned grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. His blood pressure's normal at 11872. Do you think he needs to start medicines for cholesterol or something to prevent heart failure?
yes for cholestrol patient needs medication. Grade 1 dystolic dysfunction is normal in echo.

I wanted to get some opinions to understand what might be going on. Could it really be something related to the heart, or is it more likely muscular?
