Hi
in few study it was found that elevated level of homocystein can cause heart related problem in form of blockage in vessels
your current medication is homockeck is to control homocystein level
prax and ecosprin is antiplatelets keep platelet in activated and prevent clot formation by paltelets aggregation
as you have stents in one of your heart vessels there are higher chances of developing sudden blockage of stents so prax and ecosprin will help you in preventing develpoment of blockage in stents aswell in other vessel also
atocor is cholesterol modifying drug and it will decrease your harmful lipids and increase in beneficial lipidsand help in long term prevention in development of block
seloken for heart rate control better in long term for heart protection
please take your all medication with out fail all are imp. medicine
