Hello sir and thanks for posting your query here.
As you underwent a valve replacement about 70 days ago, please consult your doctor and get your Liver function tests and an Echo. If LFT and Echo are normal, then ursocol, dytor and aldactone all can be stopped.
But you have to take acitrom and the duration depends on the type of valve you have got.
If it's a metallic valve then you have to take acitrom throughout your life but if you have got a tissue valve, then acitrom could be stopped after a while.
I hope this information would help you.
Thanks and all the best.
