Suggest Side Effects Of Aztor 40

After PTCA in Nov, 13, I have been taking Aztor 40, Prasita 10 mg and Ecosprin 150 one tab each per day, as per doctor s advice. My BP is normal all along, not a diabetes at all, but was an ex-smoker. Present body weight is 78 Kgs., 5 6 and I am 52 years old. Weight reduced from 84 kgs after PTCA. SGPT, SGOT are normal. It is done half yearly. I understood that Ecosprin and Prasita perhaps to be taken life long to keep the blood thin. My question is how long I am to take Aztor 40 and what is its side effect?
