Is It Advisable To Take Deplatt Instead Of Clopidogrel And Ecosprin?
I had angioplasty in august 2013 with stent fixed. I was regularly taking clopidogrel 75 mg & ecosprin 150 mg regularly one in tne morning and one in night. now after 4 months , my Physician has changed to deplatt A once after lunch, though my cardiologists asked to continue the old regimen for ever. what is correct?

As a cardiologist, there is decrease absorption noted of combination therapy, henceforth we recommend taking individually ecosprin and clopidogrel, deplatt A has both in combination, so it's just two tablets put togather, so your gain is psychological benefit of taking one tab less, with the risk of decreased benefits of both when taken saperately.
