As your angioplasty was done almost 18months before so since you are not Diabetic /Hypertensive /any kidney prblm and moreover your echo and stress test which is normal so there is no point to take tb.axcer. just tb. Ecosprin-Av 150/10mg is enough as per guidelines. If you ve any doubt u can consult me online

Hello,
60 mg Axcer is to be continued beyond 1 year also depending on certain factors. If you do not get axcer 60 mg, you can be shifted to another drug. But I need more information about you for that. Consult online directly for the same.
Take care. Stay safe
