Can Omrez be used in cardiac patients?
Patients with cardiac disease can take Omrez as prescribed by the doctor. However, Omrez can interact with certain drugs (e.g clopidogrel, digoxin) which might be used by a patient with an underlying cardiac disease. Patients taking Omrez and digoxin may need to be monitored for digoxin toxicity. Omrez decreases the activation of clopidogrel, thus reducing its effects. Patients taking these medicines together need to be monitored closely by a doctor.
