Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks or the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
As far as side effects are concerned,they are found with every medicine but we always see the benefits of the medicine as compared to their side effects.
In present case the benefits of these medicines are much more as compared to whatever mild side effects they carry.
The most important point at this time is to do everything to prevent a future stroke in your mother and these medicines will help tremendously in achieving this goal.
Most of these medicines like coecoral and nuhenz are various types of multivitamins.
ATORFIT CV is a combination of anti cholesterol medicine ATORVASTATIN and anti clot forming medicine CLOPIDEGROL. These would help in preventing future strokes.
Telmikind h and gudpress XL are meant for treating high blood pressure.
Your doctor is absolutely right to recommend these medicines to be taken life long.
Don't carry any doubt in your mind and keep giving these medicines as advised.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
