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