having had a stent like myself I assume you are taking asprin or some other blood thinner with your statin hence you need to talk to your cardiologist and or pharmacist to check on any drug interactions you may find the following link helpful mayoclinic.org/drugs-supple...

I am only daily aspirin. My cardiologist discontinued the blood thinner - effient - one year after stent was put in.
