Digoxin is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs called cardiac glycosides.It is derived from the foxglove plant and works by increasing the force of the heart's contractions and slowing down its rate.
Digoxin is primarily used to treat heart failure.
It can also be used to control the irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that can occur in people with heart failure or other heart conditions.
Lanoxin Tab (Digoxin) works by increasing the strength of the heart's contractions and slowing down its rate. It does this by inhibiting the sodium-potassium pump in heart muscle cells. This leads to an increase in intracellular calcium, which in turn increases the force of contraction and slows the heart rate.
Store digoxin at room temperature, away from light and moisture.
The dosage of digoxin is determined by your doctor and will vary depending on your age, weight, and medical condition.
Digoxin is typically taken orally once a day.
It is important to take digoxin exactly as directed by your doctor.
Do not stop taking digoxin without talking to your doctor first.
More serious side effects can occur, such as irregular heartbeat, low potassium levels, and heart block.
Common side effects of digoxin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, headache, and vision changes.
Alcohol can interact with digoxin and increase the risk of side effects. Avoid alcohol while taking digoxin.
Digoxin can cause dizziness, blurred vision, and fatigue. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how digoxin affects you.
Digoxin can cross the placenta and may be harmful to a developing fetus. It is also excreted in breast milk. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking digoxin during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Digoxin is not typically used to treat children, but it may be used in certain cases.
Digoxin is primarily eliminated by the kidneys. If you have kidney problems, your doctor may need to adjust your dosage.
Digoxin is not metabolized by the liver. Liver problems do not affect digoxin levels.
