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