Can Omiford be used in cardiac patients?

Patients with cardiac disease can take Omiford as prescribed by the doctor.

Patients taking Omiford and digoxin may need to be monitored for digoxin toxicity. Omiford decreases the activation of clopidogrel, thus reducing its effects. Patients taking these medicines together need to be monitored closely by a doctor.

Can Omiford cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?

Omiford can cause osteoporosis (thinning of bones) as it decreases the calcium absorption leading to calcium deficiency. This leads to an increased risk of bone fractures on long-term use, like hip, wrist or spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (these can increase the risk of osteoporosis) before starting your therapy. Consult your doctor on ways to prevent this. Your doctor may advise you calcium or vitamin D supplements to reduce the risk.
