Hi,

It is safe to take these medications. This condition is serious and it may go in both directions. If there is a sign of bowel gangrene then emergent surgery is required.

If the condition is improving as you say then it may be treated with anticoagulants and supportive therapy. Of course, later this blockage of SMA should be treated, it can be done surgically or by an interventional radiologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
