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