Thinner blood vessel on brain
my father recently went through all scanning and found out 2 brain vessel is getting thinner. He is being prescribed with Plavix, Controloc and Lipitor. after taking 2 weeks, he is having greater dizziness and headache, so doctor prescribed him Singulair,Betaserc, Sibelium, Keppra. He feels taking too many medication,so he will skip Plavis , Controloc and Lipitor for 1-2 days in between as he feels better with no headache and dizziness. my question here is, can he choose other medicine to substitute above an what is causing him greater headache and dizziness ? can he skip those medication 1-2 days?
any best advice?
thanks.

Hi and thank you for asking us
Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, your father should not skip the medications. Your father should follow the instructions given by the doctor. Skipping medicine will decrease the efficacy of the medication and might worsen your father’s condition. The headache and dizziness might be due to side effects of the medication. I encouraged your father to talk to his doctor about the side effects so that he can change to a different medicine that can suit him better.
