Hi Myrtledene, you will find you bruise less and the Tiglagredor is to make your blood less sticky for your stent. Am sure two less tablets will make your maraca sound better in the morning! Best wishes

I take so many tablets that I rattle in the morning like a maraca (it’s a musical instrument that you shake to make a noise)
