I had a heart attack 2019, diagnosed with heart failure, LVSD and mistral valve regurgitation. Since this time heavily medicated and still on the same drugs since September 2020 without any review.I was told I would be on Brilique for four years and this will then stop. This has not happened and I continue to take them. I do not want to just stop taking them as withdrawal will be helI, from previous experience.

Is there anyone that is still taking them after a great amount of time?

I’m somewhat horrified that no follow up has been done (possibly Covid related? ). Please contact your doctors surgery and talk to the receptionist about follow-up. She may suggest you start with your surgery’s pharmacist or a gp appointment, possibly preceded by blood tests.

Not what you're looking for?
