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