Low-Lying Placenta at 5 Months

I am 5 months pregnant. My recent anomaly scan showed a low-lying placenta (placenta previa/low-lying placenta). After reviewing the scan report, my doctor prescribed Ecosprin 150 mg once daily at night. I have not started taking Ecosprin yet because I am worried about the risk of bleeding due to the low-lying placenta. I have not had any vaginal bleeding so far. Should I start taking Ecosprin 150 as prescribed? Is it safe to take with a low-lying placenta? What precautions should I follow? I also have a nasal allergy with blocked nose, white mucus, sneezing, and frequent cough for the last 3 months. Mocet-LC improves the symptoms, but they return when I stop the medicine. Is Mocet-LC safe to continue during pregnancy?
