Brief Answer:
Clopidogrel is a suitable alternate.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your concern.
You seem to have hypersensitivity reaction to ecosprin.
Tab Clopilet/clopidogrel is an excellent alternative to ecosprin which should be taken after expert consultation.
Tests like Plasma Homocysteine,CRP can provide indirect evidence of risk of thrombosis along with Coronary Angiography.
These tests if found positive stress the need for blood thinners.
Since you had a stent in XXXXXXX 2005,it mandate that you are placed on blod clot preventers.
Hence This in situ stent itself is a strong indicator of need for blood thinners to prevent future untoward cardiovascular events.

Brief Answer:
Stop Atorvastatin
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I understand your concern.
Yes atorvastatin can also lead to hives in few susceptible individuals.
I suggest you to stop the drug and report to your cardiologist in all such cases where another alternative like fenofibrate and orilistat may be prescribed.
In many cases atorva is not restarted again.
Thank you.
