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