hi, my father is 69 yrs old, having CBD AND GALBLADDER STONE....he is to be done ERCP. He is taking ECOSPRIN 150mg AND CERUVIN 50mg. Surgeon has suggested to stop ECOSPRIN AND CERUVIN....but the cardiologist is against it....pls advice what should we do.
Hello Aspirin and certain are blood thinners and are essential cardiac medicine. If any stent in the heart has been put in the last 6 months, it's not wise to stop the blood thinners. In other possibilities you may consider stopping the same after a discussion with your doctor about individual risk benefits. A way forward is to keep at least aspirin on board and stopping certain for minimum duration possible. Regards
