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?

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.
