For the treatment and management of congestive cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmias and heart failure.
Dixina Pharmacology
Digoxin, a cardiac glycoside similar to digitoxin, is used to treat congestive heart failure and supraventricular arrhythmias due to reentry mechanisms, and to control ventricular rate in the treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation.
Dixina Absorption
Absorption of digoxin from the elixir pediatric formulation has been demonstrated to be 70% to 85% complete (90% to 100% from the capsules, and 60% to 80% for tablets).
Dixina side effects and Toxicity
Toxicity includes ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, or progressive bradyarrhythmias, or heart block. LD50 = 7.8 mg/kg (orally in mice).
Dixina Patient Information
Digoxin is used for the treatment of congestive heart failure and for irregular heartbeat. Notify your physician if you are pregnant or nursing. Do not stop taking digoxin without talking with your physician. Digoxin may be taken with or without food. It should be taken at approximately the same time each morning. Do not take over-the-counter antacids, cough, cold, allergy or diet medications without notifying your physician and pharmacist.
