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