Description
Indications
Digoxin is employed in the management of mild-to-moderate congestive heart failure and the treatment of specific forms of irregular heart rhythms. Its primary therapeutic action involves alleviating the symptoms associated with congestive heart failure, such as edema in the ankles, feet, and hands, dyspnea, and frequent fatigue. Digoxin also aids in the restoration and maintenance of a regular heart rhythm for patients afflicted with atrial fibrillation. This medication falls within the category of pharmaceutical agents known as cardiac glycosides.
Uses and Dosage
Digoxin is available in tablet, capsule, or pediatric elixir (liquid) forms for oral administration. Typically, it is taken once daily. The pediatric elixir is equipped with a specially marked dropper to ensure accurate dosing. If you encounter any difficulties, seek guidance from your pharmacist on its proper use.
Consistency in taking the same brand of digoxin is vital, as different brands may contain varying amounts of the active drug, necessitating dose adjustments.
Take digoxin exactly as prescribed—neither exceeding nor reducing the recommended dosage, and adhering to the prescribed frequency.
While digoxin aids in controlling your medical condition, it does not serve as a cure. Continue taking the medication even if you experience an improvement in your well-being. Never discontinue digoxin without consulting your doctor.

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention:
- dizziness or lightheadedness
- drowsiness
- vision changes (blurred or yellow)
- rash
- irregular heartbeat
Inform your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any serious side effects:
- upset stomach
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- loss of appetite
- swelling of the feet or hands
- unusual weight gain
- difficulty breathing
Caution
Prior to commencing digoxin treatment, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have any known allergies to digoxin, similar drugs like digitoxin, or any other substances. This product might contain inactive components that could potentially trigger allergic reactions or other related complications.
Before initiating the use of this medication, disclose your medical history to your doctor or pharmacist, particularly if you have a history of kidney problems or thyroid issues (either underactive or overactive).
Taking this drug may result in dizziness or blurred vision. Consumption of alcohol or marijuana can exacerbate these effects. Refrain from driving, operating machinery, or engaging in tasks that demand alertness or clear vision until you can safely do so.
The proper functioning of this drug in your body can be influenced by the balance of certain natural minerals (e.g., calcium, magnesium, potassium) in your blood. Specific medications such as “water pills” (diuretics) might impact the normal mineral balance. Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are currently taking a “water pill” or have a history of mineral imbalances.
Infants and children may be more susceptible to the effects of this medication, particularly concerning its impact on the heartbeat.
During pregnancy, the use of this medication should be considered only when clearly necessary. Engage in a comprehensive discussion with your doctor regarding the potential risks and benefits associated with its use during pregnancy.
Digoxin can pass into breast milk. Although no reports of harm to nursing infants have surfaced, consult your doctor before breastfeeding while undergoing digoxin treatment.

FAQ
Can you eat bananas while taking Lanoxin?
People taking Lanoxin should avoid taking potassium supplements, or eating large quantities of fruit (e.g., bananas), unless directed to do so by their doctor.
Is Lanoxin a beta blocker?
Lanoxin is not a beta blocker because it works on a different target in the heart, the ‘sodium pump.’ Unlike beta blockers, which usually help relax the heart, Lanoxin makes the heart pump harder with each beat.
