Q: I am a 35 years old female into my 34th week of pregnancy. I am having varicose veins and wheezing these days. My doctor asked me to take Ecosprin 75, 1 tablet per day for 30 days. Is it helpful and safe? If not, which drug should I take?

A:Foot end elevation as and when possible and elastic stockings are the best for varicose veins in pregnancy. Ecosprin may not help much, and can be stopped.
