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