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