Drug Uses

Digoxin is used to treat heart failure and slowing the heart rate in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation, a type of abnormal heart rhythm. It might also be used by your doctor in other cases as he deems fit.

Usage

Following the dosage instructions of your doctor is the best way to use any medication. If you are unsure or do not remember the instructions then you may read the medicine label for more detailed information.

You may choose to take Digoxin with a meal or without one.


Drug Class and Mechanism

Digoxin is categorized as a digitalis glycoside. It increases the force of contraction of the heart thereby slowing the heart rate.

Missed Dose

Despite your best attempts at remembering, if you still miss out on a dose, then take it as soon as you remember about it. But keep in mind that you will have to adjust your next dose by spacing it out by 4 to 5 hours. If this is not possible, then the best thing to do would be to skip the missed dose and continue with your normal dosage schedule.

Never try to compensate for the missed dose by taking a double dose together. It may cause adverse effects.

Store Digoxin between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). You may also store it between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) for a limited time. Always keep it in a cool dark place that is not directly exposed to sources of heat or moisture and sunlight. Protect it from kids and pets.
