A member asked:
I take plavix 75 mg and aspirin 81mg daily. i have 5 stents ..first one placed in 2004, last one placed in 2018. given that i have 5 stents, is it better for me to still be on and remain on plavix and aspirin for such a period of time, is this normal?

Not always clearcut: The combination is standard but duration of Plavix usage is variable. Ask your cardiologist of the advice from them
