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