Hi,
No medicine dose should not be reduced without doctor's advise. Actually it needs to be adjusted (if required) but continued. Sten removes the local blockage but cause of the blockage needs to be under control to prevent new blockage. Medication and heart friendly life style do that.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
