What is Digoxin?
Active Ingredients: Digoxin
Digoxin Tablets are an antiarrhythmic drug used to treat heart failure in adults and children. This medication may be used alone or in combination with other drugs, such as a diuretic or an ACE inhibitor. Digoxin is also used to treat certain types of abnormal heartbeat, such as atrial fibrillation, in adults.
Digoxin is classified in the drug class called antiarrhythmics (antidysrhythmics) or inotropic agents. It is a chemical derived from the digitalis plant. The active ingredient works by inhibiting sodium-potassium ATPase within the heart.
