How long do I need to take Anticlot-AP after stent insertion?
Your doctor will suggest the exact duration for which you may have to take Anticlot-AP. The duration will be decided after considering various factors like the illness you are being treated for, type of stent inserted, any episodes of bleeding experienced by you during treatment, etc. Usually, Anticlot-AP is prescribed for a minimum duration of 1 year. However, it is advised to follow your doctors advice precisely to get maximum benefit of Anticlot-AP. Do not stop the medication on your own, consult your doctor first. Sudden discontinuation may increase the chances of clot formation in the stent, heart attack and can even lead to death.
