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