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