Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
To what ever the reason, there is some period of recommendation of the usage of the drugs. While using the drugs, you will be under the supervison of the doctor, but latter you will continue the drug, and there could be severe bleeding, and may difficult to manage.
So it is not advisible to use it continuously.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to improve the body resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
