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