Hello and thank you for the query.
What your family doctor has advised you is correct. Keep hold on both tablets- the ecosprin and the clavix as of now. Then restart your tablet Ecosprin 75 only once a day after your doctor confirms you do not have anymore clots seen on the body.
If you have had a recent heart attack or treatment taken for recent heart attack then only you are supposed to take tablet clavix along with aspirin and not just casually. Continue taking tablet Ivabrade and Aztor. They are good for you.
You haven't mentioned your age here. Follow your family doctor's advice and go back to ecosprin only after a few days' time. Wish you good luck.

Hi,
Welcome,
After going through your history,you have Hypertension,Diabetes and possibly neuropathy.
It is not clear that are you having Ischemic heart problem or not as you have given no description of angina or there is any evidence in ECG .
You may have blood clot due to minor trauma and possibly Asprin and Clopidogrel rightly stopped them, but continue Ivabrade and Aztor.
You need not to stop other drugs.
If there is any doubt a 2 D Echocardiography and Tread mill Test will clear the status of disease.
Please do not discontinue any drug without advise of your treating doctor.
Aztor has some advantages apart from controlling the lipid Profile.
Please take care.
Good Luck.
