Question 1

I'm really concerned about my dad's health after he got a stent put in during his angioplasty this April. He's planning to stay with me for 23 days, but we live in a house with two floors. I'm worried about whether it's safe for him to be climbing stairs. Could you advise on whether that's okay for him?

Accepted Answer

Patient can climb stairs, in case patient experience breathing difficulty in climbing stairs, sit and rest for a while.

Question 2

I'm wondering if it's safe to use a generic substitute that has the same active ingredients for Rozavel 20 mg, Praxa 75, and Volgimac GM2 tablets after having a stent placed. Is there anything specific I should be cautious about with these generics in my situation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is generally safe to use generic substitutes with the same API as long as they are prescribed by your healthcare provider. For Rozavel 20 mg, you can use the generic substitute called Rosuvastatin 20 mg. For Praxa 75 Volgimac gm2 tablets, you can use the generic substitute called Clopidogrel 75 mg. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and administration of these medications after stenting.

Which arm to measure blood pressure right or left?

Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.
