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