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