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