I have been taking clopidogrel 75mg + atorvastatin 10mg + metoprolol 10mg + telmisartan 40mg for the past 3 years since the date of my Bypass surgery. My doctor told me to use them life long, but are there any adverse effects that come with long term use? ## Hello, Krishna! How are you? To be quite honest and upfront, it is far more risky for you to stop taking them, if you have a heart condition, or high blood pressure.
