Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your mother-in-law's symptoms and findings.
Based on that, she seems to have suffered a brain stroke (lack of blood flow to brain).
Ecosprin AV consists of aspirin and atorvastatin. Aspirin is a blood thinner and atorvastatin controls cholesterol levels. Both these medicines prevent the recurrence of brain stroke. They are reasonably safe medicines.
In addition, her diabetes should be kept under control too.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
