Q: very good afternoon. is every 3 months an appropriate interval to check blood work and urine tests for someone who takes blood pressure & cholesterol medications and plavix?

: It depends on many factors eg control of BP and cholesterol etc. If under good control then a 6 month interval is sufficient
