Hi,
If your mother had a heart problems and was prescribed Concor, then she should continue to take the medication even if she is doing well now. Usually cardiac medications are prescribed for a long time, sometimes lifelong, unless there are some contraindications. If the patient is well it means that the medication works, so there is no need to discontinue.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
