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