Dear, Its nice to share your concern about health problem of your loved one. See the patient with angioplasty and stent in place are kept on medication for a long time as preventive measures. Both medications you mentioned are have curative as well as preventive for a known CAD patient. You have not mentioned about BP. Please consult your treating physician for dose regulation. You can request dose regulation if the patient follows a good lifestyle modification and intervention.
