What Is The Right Dosage Of Clopilet And Roseday To Be Taken For Blockages In Heart?
my grandmother age 80 had a heart attack on 14-10-2011. she was advised angioplasty and was diagnosed with two blockages, one 95% and the other 75%. considering her age the doctors decided to remove the first blockage and the second one is still there. Now she is taking ecosprin(150 mg), clopilet(75mg), roseday(10mg), metpure xl(25mg) and olmat amh. When we went for second opinion the other doctor asked us to continue the same medicines, but advised to change the dose of clopilet from 75 mg to 150 mg and roseday from 10 mg to 20 mg. Now we are confused what to do.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Better not to increase the dose of clopilet and roseday.
Clopilet us having clopidogrel. It is blood thinner drug.
Roseday is having rosuvastatin. It is lipid lowering drug.
She is taking ideal dose for these drugs. No need to double the dose without any reason.
Increase in the dose will also increase the side effects and bleeding complications.
So if she is doing fine with roseday 10mg and clopilet 75mg, no need to increase the dose and continue with this dose only.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your grandmother. Thanks.
