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