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