My father 62' had laparotomy surgery for colorectal cancer, during recovery jn ICU he developed atria fibrillation. And Dr had prescribed blood thinners and beta blockers(eliquis5mg, metacord xl75, atorva). After 2 weeks in follow up visit they are asking to continue same tablets for 3 months. Is it mandatory? Or we can stop taking these tablets?
