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