I am 73 years male undergone ptca with stent to rca and lcx on 30.12.19. discharged on 3.1.20. At that time I was prescribed some 8-9tablets on my post operative visit on 18=1=20my doctor has not mentioned nikoran 5 mg and deplatt which I did not notice at that time but as per internet these two medicines should continue especially deplatt. Is it by mistake my doctor forgot to write and should I continue taking these two or can I stop can you advise as my next visit is on 29th jan till then can you advise what to do regarding these two tablets thanks.

Nikoran is not mandatory after stenting. And there must be some other group of medicine like prasugrel or ticagrelor instead of clopidogrel in your prescription.
