Is amiodarone as safe a drug as digoxin or linoxin for A-fib as far as long term side affects are concerned?

5 (really small dose, but even with 10mg of Midodrene 3x a day my blood pressure would drop too low and the side effects were unbearable) .. so he concluded that I have a sensitivity to beta blockers.

call your dr and have them write a new script for digoxin or lanoxin... there is a possibility that your dr may want a new dig level before starting new script...

For many years after the surgery I was on Lanoxin/Digoxin. When I was in my teens I started having electrical problems in my heart and they used Dilantin (looooong story). I hate that medicine! The side effects were terrible. I then went to have a normal pregnancy & delivery with a healthy baby with no congenital heart condition (Thank GOD!

Digoxin should generally be avoided in patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function, although it has been used for ventricular rate control in the subgroup of patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cardiovascular side effects have been reported the most frequently.

How do metoprolol, isosorb, and benazepril together, differ from, norvasc and lanoxin.

They should tell you what the clinical studies showed, side effects and all of the pertinent information....good luck to you....

Appareantly those are normal side effects from that medicine. It might take a while to get used to it, if not you should definitely ask to try another one!

I am trying to compile a list of common heart medications for one of the Health Pages. So many times someone asks for suggestions, about side effects, etc. It would be great to have a place closeby where we could provide a hyperlink to more information on medications common for heart patients. Will you please help me by letting me know what medication(s) you are currently taking, or what medication(s) you would like to know more about?

SVT also can be caused by very high levels of the heart medicine digoxin (such as Lanoxicaps or Lanoxin) or the lung medicine theophylline (such as Theochron or Uniphyl). Some types of SVT may run in families, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Or they may be caused by a lung problem such as COPD or pneumonia". I hope this helps.

I was on it for a week and ended up in ER due to some nasty side effects like chest pain and severe weakness and shortness of breath. However, I can take a different CCB (Diltiazem) without much trouble. Some people are on beta blockers for years and do well. I hate to say it but it kind of a drug roulette. All the doctor can do is have you try something and see if it helps you. If not, there are other choices out there.

Did you take Tikosyn? What were side effects, etc.

It takes very careful experimentation to find just the right dosage. There are so many adverse side effects, and with so many new modern alternatives available, my physician would have to a lot of explaining to do in order for me to take it today.

I took Amiodarone for 9 months for SVTs. I stopped the drug because of the nasty side effects. The skipped beats were gone by then and haven't returned since.
