Digoxin
Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used in selected people with Atrial Fibrillation or Heart Failure. The effective and toxic ranges can be close, so kidney function, interactions and symptoms matter.
Key points
- Digoxin can slow the heart rate in atrial fibrillation and support heart contraction in selected heart-failure treatment plans.
- Kidney impairment, dehydration or abnormal potassium, magnesium or calcium can increase the risk of toxicity.
- New nausea, confusion, visual disturbance or a very slow or irregular pulse needs prompt medical review.
Listings are for comparison and general information, not a dose or treatment recommendation; suitability and supply depend on clinician and pharmacy checks, monitoring and prescription requirements.
What digoxin is used for
Digoxin may be added when other treatments do not provide adequate heart-rate or symptom control. It does not suit every type of arrhythmia or heart failure, and treatment goals differ between conditions.
Important safety checks
Clinicians may review kidney function, electrolytes, heart rhythm and, when indicated, a correctly timed blood level. Many medicines can alter digoxin concentration or heart rate, including some diuretics, antibiotics, antiarrhythmics and herbal products. Do not double a missed dose or stop treatment without product-specific advice.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent help for fainting, severe dizziness, a very slow or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, breathing difficulty, marked confusion, repeated vomiting or new colour or halo-like vision changes. Suspected extra doses require prompt assessment even before symptoms appear.
