Coronary arterial disease, stenting.
About 15 months ago, I had exposed to stenting. Since then, I have been standing on blood thinner and antiplatelete medicine such as ecospirin 75 mg, clopidogrel 75 mg and atorva 10 mg at an interval of 24 hours. At present, my total cholesterol is 105 and hdl is 32. I want to know whether any medicine is liable to quit or interval of medicine intake can be increased to 36 or 48 hours.

Hello,
No you have to take all these medicines daily. Please do not stop or reduce these medicines otherwise your stent will be blocked again. Its nothing to do with your cholesterol report. Irrespective of the values, you have to take all these medicines daily.
Take care
