hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understood your concern

priosec is a proton pump inhibitor drug for acid control and it delays and reduces the action of clopidogril through enzyme interactions.

so better to avoid that for cardiac safety

I can suggest you to take tab.rantac 150 mg once a day in the morning or tab.iladac 10 mg once a day.

hope this helps you

any further questions please let me know

thanks
