Can Stamirich be used in cardiac patients?

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