Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The drugs prescribed to you are pretty much standard for a patient post MI or with ischemic heart disease. The thing is that you have to continue these medicines for lifelong to prevent another episode of MI. As you have a drug eluding stent you need both aspirin and Clopidogrel. The conclusion is that keep taking these drugs as long as you don't feel any complications. Contact doctor if anything happens.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
