I am 63 years old male. I have been diagnosed for Mild Coronary Artery Disease & Gastro Oesophagus Reflux Disease in 2013. I was prescribed with Clopitorva 10 mg and pantoprazole 40 mg one each per day for lifetime. However, I didn't take Clopitorva 10 mg as I felt that my heart is in good condition as I workout on treadmill and burn 100 calories a day and took only pantoprazole 40 mg on SOS basis. I also do not feel uneasy or breathless or any kind of pain whenever I climb stairs or walk a long distance. I even once ascended and descended 1200 stairs at a stretch with ease. Please advise.

Hello dear Lybrate user, hi Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly. The need of blood thinner at present depends upon the fresh angiography report. Although without that as per your activity level and my clinical experience, I do not think you require any of the medicines at present. And may god bless you with the same health ahead sir. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery.

Clopitorva is to avoid progression of heart disease. Risk is decreased if you take it regularly.
