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