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.

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?

renal function tests, pulmonary function tests are advised...

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold recently, and I've been on antibiotics for it. When I checked my blood pressure, it was at 160100, which has me a bit worried. I did take a tablet called Stardol for muscle pain a few days ago. Should I be concerned about my blood pressure or anything else? Would love some guidance.

Get your pressures checked again. If high meet doctor and start medicines . Avoid extra salt. Get a 2DEcho and Ultrasound abdomen.
