Brief Answer: Yes. Need to take life time. Detailed Answer: Hi, I went through the query and understood your concern. With the history of angioplasty, you should continue Clavix 75 , Rozavel F, Cardace 5 and Metalor XR 50 and Insulin for life time. Clavix 75 is given to prevent any blood clots that may occur any where in body or near stent. Rozavel F has combination of 2 drugs and is better than atacore in reducing the cholesterol and triglycerides level in blood and hence prevent clot formation and also stabilizes if any clots. Cardace 5 and Metalor XR 50 are to maintain your BP and also to prevent any remodelling in heart. So you need to take all these medications for life time to prevent any further problem. You can replace with other drugs with similar property. Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any further queries and I will be glad to answer them. Wish you good health. Regards
