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