Dear Dr,

My mom, 60, is on Plavix, Atorvastatin, and Mucosolvan now.
She is ALLERGIC to NSAIDS.
Could you be please prescribe a safe Prophylaxis drug for diarrhea and vomiting.
Just to keep this as a precaution during MCO in Malaysia.
Thank you.

Thank you for your questions.

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your concern. However, if your mom are not having any symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, I wouldn’t suggest any medication. Even if she got those symptoms, we need to figure out the causes of it before we can confidently prescribed any medication.
