Digoxin

Digoxin is a prescription medication to treat heart failure and atrial fibrillation by strengthening heart contractions. Available in both tablet and injection forms, this heart medication enhances cardiac output and reduces symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue. Tablets are usually taken once daily, with or without food. Injectable Digoxin is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional. The dosage is adjusted for age and kidney function. Monitor electrolyte levels and kidney function to prevent toxicity. Store at room temperature, avoid missing doses, and seek immediate help if an overdose occurs.

Digoxin is prescribed to treat:

• Heart failure
• Atrial fibrillation

Benefits of Digoxin

• Helps control resting heart rate in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
• Enhances exercise tolerance in some patients with mild to moderate heart failure.
• Alleviates symptoms such as breathlessness and tiredness in heart failure.
• May reduce hospitalizations due to worsening heart failure when used with standard therapy.

Dosage of Digoxin for Heart Failure

Tablet

Initial Dose: Typically 0.125 mg once daily. A loading dose is not routinely required.

Adjustment: Based on clinical response, serum levels, renal function, and lean body mass, adjusted every 2 weeks if needed.

Maximum Dose: Generally 0.25 mg once daily in adults with normal renal function. In older adults or individuals with reduced kidney function, doses exceeding 0.125 mg daily may raise the risk of toxicity and should be administered with caution.

Injection

Initial Dose: Not routinely required for chronic heart failure. An IV loading dose may be used in acute situations (e.g., rapid control of atrial fibrillation), but not typically for chronic management.

Adjustment: Adjustment is based on serum Digoxin levels (target: 0.5–0.9 ng/mL), renal function, electrolytes, and clinical response, with maintenance dosing modified accordingly, under doctor supervision, and levels monitored 6–8 hours after IV dose (ideally 12–24 hours post-dose).

Maximum Dose: Typically 1 mg total IV loading dose in 24 hours for adults.

Dosage of Digoxin for Atrial Fibrillation

Tablet

Initial dose: Typically 0.125–0.25 mg once daily, depending on age, renal function, and lean body mass.

Adjustment: Based on serum Digoxin levels (target: 0.8–2.0 ng/mL for atrial fibrillation), renal function, electrolytes, and clinical response, adjusted every 1–2 weeks as needed under doctor supervision.

Maximum Dose: Usually 0.25 mg once daily in adults.

Injection:

Initial Dose: IV loading dose is often required for rapid rate control:

• Total loading dose: 8–12 mcg/kg IV.
• Administer 50% of the total dose initially,
• Followed by 25% every 6–8 hours, in 2 divided doses.

Adjustment: It is based on serum Digoxin levels (target: 0.8–2.0 ng/mL for atrial fibrillation), renal function, electrolytes, and clinical response, with dosing modified every 1–2 weeks as needed under doctor supervision.

Maximum Dose: 1 mg total IV loading dose in 24 hours for adults.

When you buy Digoxin online, follow these administration guidelines:

• Always use the same form (tablet or injection) as directed, do not switch without medical advice.
• Take oral tablets with or without food, preferably at the same time each day.
• Swallow Digoxin tablets whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless instructed.
• If using injectable Digoxin, it must be administered by a healthcare professional, usually intravenously (IV).

Digoxin works by increasing calcium levels in heart cells, which strengthens heart muscle contractions and improves pumping efficiency. It also slows electrical signals through the atrioventricular (AV) node, helping to control heart rate, especially in atrial fibrillation. This combination makes Digoxin effective for treating heart failure and certain arrhythmias.

Common Digoxin side effects may include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Diarrhea

Serious (rare) Digoxin side effects may include:

• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
• Fainting or severe dizziness
• Severe stomach pain
• Confusion or unusual thoughts
• Hallucinations

Note: Contact your healthcare provider or doctor if you experience any serious symptoms or unusual changes.

It is important to understand key safety considerations before you order Digoxin online.

• Electrolyte Imbalances: Low levels of potassium, magnesium, or high calcium levels can heighten the risk of Digoxin-related heart issues. Regular blood tests are recommended.
• Heart Conditions: While Digoxin treats certain heart problems, it may worsen others, like ventricular fibrillation. It must be used with caution and under supervision.
• Use in the Elderly: Older adults may be more sensitive to the effects of Digoxin and are at a higher risk of toxicity. Close monitoring is advised.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Digoxin should only be used during pregnancy or lactation if clearly needed and prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Before you buy Digoxin from Canada, be sure to follow these safety precautions for effective use and avoid potential risks:

• Follow Prescribed Dosage Strictly: Always take Digoxin exactly as prescribed. Taking too much can lead to serious toxicity, while too little may not be effective.
• Monitor Heart Rate Regularly: Digoxin affects heart rhythm. Keep track of your pulse, and inform your doctor if it's too slow or irregular.
• Avoid Over-the-Counter Medications Without Approval: Some OTC drugs, especially antacids and laxatives, can interfere with Digoxin absorption or effectiveness.
• Stay Hydrated and Maintain Electrolyte Balance: Dehydration or imbalanced potassium and magnesium levels can increase side effects. Follow dietary recommendations given by your healthcare provider.
• Limit Alcohol Intake: Excessive alcohol can affect heart health and interfere with Digoxin’s action. Drink in moderation or as advised by your doctor.

If you forget to take your scheduled dose, then take it when you remember. Skip the missed Digoxin dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double up the dose to make up for the missed one.

If you suspect an overdose of Digoxin, seek medical help immediately or contact the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
