my father, 83 yrs old underwent angioplasty 3 weeks ago. has been prescribed ceruwin, ecosprin150 & aztor/storvas.a follow-up check a week later showed all well. there is weakness, though he is slowly recovering. today he had pain in the mid abdomen region. had an antacid later in the day. could the pain be a side effect of the drugs? please clarify.
Hi, Post angioplasty blood thinner(Esprit & Certain) are given to keep blood thin. Their very common side effect is gastritis & we commonly recommend Tab Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily to our patients. Don't worry it is not due to Angioplasty. It is just gastritis due to side effect of Chat Doctor. Thanks
