Hi. Thank you for asking us.
My opinion is that you should do a full recovery which is 2-6 weeks. These may be some mild side effects that any medication has the probability to exert. You should take your therapy regularly. As about the alcohol consumption, you are allowed to take the allowed daily dosage, which is up to 30 g ethanol/day (e.g. two beers, a glass of wine). I recommend that you perform a stress test 1, 3 and 6 months after the stent replacement, and an echocardiogram 3-6 months after discharge.
Take care. I wish you a good health
