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