Dear doctor, my father (53 years) is diabetic for around 30+years and recently suggested for ct coronary angiogram due to abnormal ecg and tmt positive. Results were mild atherosclerotic (lad mid segment 40% narrowing). He is now prescribed with atorvastatin 20 mg, clopidogrel 75 mg, carvedilol 10 mg, remmag 400 mg and ramcor 1.25 mg. He was already taking insulin with cresar 40 mg, glador, istamet and carvedilol. Now, dr's told him to take this new medicines for lifetime. Want to know, is this the only way? Can't he get rid of this cardiac medicines with better food, exercise and lifestyle changes? If he can stop these statins and clopilet, how long would it take. What is the right way to do that. Awaiting your valuable response.
