Clinical information

From the regulator-approved product information. Each section names its source.

How it works

All of digoxin’s actions are mediated through its effects on Na-K ATPase. This enzyme, the “sodium pump,” is responsible for maintaining the intracellular milieu throughout the body by moving sodium ions out of and potassium ions into cells.

Dosing overview

LANOXIN dose is based on patient-specific factors (age, lean body weight, renal function, etc.). See full prescribing information. Monitor for toxicity and therapeutic effect. Intravenous administration is preferable to intramuscular. Avoid bolus administration.

Contraindications

LANOXIN is contraindicated in patients with: Ventricular fibrillation Known hypersensitivity to digoxin (reactions seen include unexplained rash, swelling of the mouth, lips or throat or a difficulty in breathing). A hypersensitivity reaction to other digitalis preparations usually constitutes a contraindication to digoxin. Ventricular fibrillation.

Risk of advanced or complete heart block in patients with sinus node disease and AV block. Digoxin toxicity: Indicated by nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, and cardiac arrhythmias. Advanced age, low body weight, impaired renal function and electrolyte abnormalities predispose to toxicity. Risk of ventricular arrhythmias during electrical cardioversion. Not recommended in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Avoid LANOXIN in patients with myocarditis.

Interactions

Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index, increased monitoring of serum digoxin concentrations and for potential signs and symptoms of clinical toxicity is necessary when initiating, adjusting, or discontinuing drugs that may interact with digoxin. Prescribers should consult the prescribing information of any drug which is co-prescribed with digoxin for potential drug interaction information. PGP Inducers/Inhibitors: Drugs that induce or inhibit PGP have the potential to alter digoxin pharmacokinetics. The potential for drug-drug interactions must be considered prior to and during drug therapy. See full prescribing information.
