Are MI Medications Expensive To Buy Abroad?
Hi Dr. Prabhakar Koregol ! I have had a MI on last september, 6 months ago. Now I am taking medicine like: aspirin, plavix and statin. I would like to know whether or not i I will be able to live and work normally in hot and humid countries like India and in cold countries like Russia obviously taking the same drugs I am taking now. I would like to know also if it is complicated and expensive to find them abroad. Thanks in advance for your kindly reply Sandro

Hello Sandro,i have gone through your history.first of all you should remember that you have to continue all these medicines life long.well, cold country will not be much problem for you.yes these medicines will be pretty expensive abroad.so better to carry six months to one year quota with you.i also suggest you to get your echo and stress test done before you leave India and get then checked every year.
My best wishes.
