Warning
- Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning small differences in dose or blood concentration can lead to toxicity. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, vision changes, and irregular heart rhythms. Immediate medical attention is required if toxicity is suspected.
- Reduced kidney function can lead to digoxin accumulation. Dosage adjustments and close monitoring are essential for patients with kidney disease.
- Low potassium or magnesium, or high calcium levels, may increase the risk of digoxin toxicity. Regular monitoring of electrolyte levels is recommended.
- Digoxin may interact with several medications, including diuretics, certain antibiotics, antiarrhythmics, and calcium channel blockers. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications being taken.
- Consult a healthcare provider, as digoxin use may need close monitoring in pregnant or breastfeeding women.
