Here is my list of meds that I am taking 20 months after Open Heart Surgery:
Aspirin - 81 mg
Atorvastatin - 40 mg (generic lipitor) - (was on 10 mg before surgery)
Montelukast - 10 mg (generic Singulair) (for my allergies & asthma)
Aciphex - 20 mg (for my stomach)
Amlodipine - 5 mg (after heart surgery)
Clopidogrel - 75 mg - (generic plavix) - (after heart surgery)
Metoprolol - 25 mg -(after heart surgery)
Omega 3 - Fish Oil - 1000 mg
Before my open heart surgery I was taking:
Aspirin - 81 mg
Atorvastatin - 40 mg (generic lipitor) - (was on 10 mg before surgery)
Singulair - 10 mg (generic Singulair) (for my allergies & asthma)
Aciphex - 20 mg (for my stomach)
The generic lipitor dosage was only 10 mg before surgery. This month will be my first month on Montelukast. This means I am using only one medicine that is NOT generic - Aciphex. I am a BIG believer in my asthma & stomach meds! They have been life changing for me! The Montelukast (generic Singulair) has been great for my allergies & asthma! My asthma was always bad this time of year. I would have trouble breathing, walking or running, sleeping, etc. I have always had a "bad stomach"! The Aciphex allows me to eat anything without acid reflux!
After surgery medicines:
Amlodipine - 5 mg (after heart surgery)
Clopidogrel - 75 mg - (generic plavix) - (after heart surgery)
Metoprolol - 25 mg -(after heart surgery)
Omega 3 - Fish Oil - 1000 mg
So far, so good! I seem to suffer no side effects from any of my medicines. My PVC's after heart surgery seem to be under control.
Next cardiologist appointment is January 2013!!!
