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