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