What Is The Difference Between Ecosprin 75 And 150, And Should I Switch After Taking 75 Mg For Two Years Post-stroke?

Hi,
In my opinion, both these are the right doses. Generally 75 mg is prescribed for preventing heart attack or stroke to a low risk patient. However, 150 mg is prescribed to the high risk patients. However, your doctor is the best guide taking your clinical condition and risks in to consideration. Both strengths are generally safe with minimal side effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
