Sir,

Thank you for the question. But unfortunately It is difficult to make a decision about all these medication without knowing your angio report and PTCA report, your age, risk factors status, past hospitalization history.

If I were treating a situation like this I would consider stopping nikoran and monotrate if chest pain has totally ceased. I would certainly continue rosuvas and ecosprin. These medicines are great in preventing further heart attacks. Seloken and clopidogrel may be required depending on your reports.

I am afraid I am unable to say beyond this with the little information I have received from you.

Discuss with your treating physician in your next visit. Good day!
