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