Following An Angioplasty, Are The Medicines Embeta, Stanlip And Ecosprin Advisable?
Good evening Sir,
I am a 62 year old male. I had angioplasty around 7 years back. I have no problems now, except for BP 130/100. I am taking Telma 80 morning and Amlopress 5, Atorva 10 and Clavix AS 150 evening all once a day. My triglycerides are 222 and LDL is 80, HDL is 32. My doctor told me to add Embeta XR 50 and Stanlip 145 ; and replace Clavix AS 150 with Ecosprin 150. Kindly advise.

Hello , yes the medication you are taking is perfect, now going to the changes .
1) clavix A contains two medication aspirin and clopidogrel. As only one of them is needed as blood thinner your doctor changes to ecosprin which contains only aspirin. JUSTIFIED
2) Embeta. Since your pressure are on borland high ( diastolic 100) am beta would be good addition as apart from controlled the blood pressure, it have ever all protective action on the heart . However 25 mg to start with would suffice .
3) storlip is for higher triglycerides.
I would wait before starting as it's just borderline high and Plain diet modification would help . Other components of lipid profile , ldl and everything is perfectly normal .
Hoping that would resolve your doubts .
