All occurred with activity and were relieved by rest and sublingual nitro. Her daily medications include Digoxin 0.125 mg, Furosemide 40 mg, Warfarin 5 mg, Lovastatin 20 mg at HS. Captopril 12.5 mg. KCL 20 mEq BID, and the nitroglycerine described above. We are to describe the pharmacological treatments present in this persons treatment plan.
After the op. she was put on amiodarone, digoxin and furosemide. While the MVR appeared successful the maze did not kick in, experiencing irregular heartbeats cica 90 p.m. She then had cardioversion a few days ago; her heart rhythm appears to have regularised but her pulse rate has dropped to 42-46 p.m. and she has lost a lot ef energy. She has been taken off all medication except warfarin (5 mg pd) Where do we go from here?
Q1) A few months ago I took him to a specialist who took him off some other medications previously prescribed by our GP (local doctor). The specialist put him on Digoxin. He said it was better for his condition. However the patient recently had another appointment where his blood pressure was high and so another specialist has now added Doxazosin. (You don't always get to see the same specialist at appointments). The patient is also on Furosemide, Warfarin, Simvastatin and Ramipril.
My dad is 94 and in heart failure, and he now has atrial fibrillation, since a fall about a month ago (we think).
He said in the night he had a feeling like a short electric shock in his chest. Then his breathing went from shallow before to deeper/slower after, and his heart felt like it was beating irregularly. He didn't tell me this till around noon.
He seems stable but lower energy.
What is your understanding for the underlying cause for a regimen of digoxin, furosemide, carvedilol, enlapril, coreg etc., if the test revealed no blockages? Did you have an illness that damaged the heart muscles...congenital, alcohol, drugs, medication, etc.?
I took Digoxin for a number of years in reponse to an atrial fibrillation event. My new physician did not feel I needed to be on it any longer. What are the side effects of discontinuing this medication? I have been off it for several months and some odd changes in my body.
s explanation where he states digoxin is used to treat irregular heartbeats. I was on digoxin for a few months following my congested heart failue event. It is my understanding the medication is used to increase contractility of the pumping chambers. My medication for stablizing heart rate is a beta blocker (coreg) and an ACE inhibitor.
My research: "Digoxin is contraindicated in patients with ventricular fibrillation.
I take Lisinopril 10mg, furosemide 40mg and Klor-con potassium. I have just been prescribed Spironolactone 25mg and Carvedilol 6.25.

However, in general calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers are preferred to digoxin. Digoxin has been around for a long time! I used Digoxin over 50 years ago for my PSVT, and my recollection was that it did little to prevent episodes. There are so many newer drugs now that are far more effective. My basic understanding of Digoxin is that it works on the heart's electrical system and decreases the heart rate, but increases each stroke volume.

We have been advised by the doctor to give my mom 20mg furosemide through iv for 3 days because of edema, today was her last day and her bp was 130/50, the doctor told us that her bp should not be lower than 90/60, but we still gave her medcation since her normal should be around 110/60, was it a good idea or a bad one that we administered her furosemide with bp reading of 130/50?
how do you work out the the right does of furosemide. he is on 10mg a day and he is 10 lbs. what is dangerous high level or low level.
i hev a question concerning digoxin....wat is its effect in the body. I mean its pharmacokinetic effects. i am having a hard time searching the net for it...
There is no cross-reactivity between Ethacrynic acid and Lasix (Furosemide). These drugs are both in the same family of medications known as Loop Diuretics and are more commonly known as a “water pill” because they cause an increase in the excretion of urine and electrolytes. There are different types of allergic reactions to medications known as hypersensitivities and symptoms can range from a skin rash to swelling and inflammation of the throat causing difficulty breathing and even death.
My old Akita (going on 16) had a cough for about 2 mos that my vet originally through was kennel cough. . However, since it didn't disappear, he put him on 20 mg of Furosemide 3 days ago and the cough has since stopped. I understand Furosemide is a powerful diuretic so I'm wondering if this will harm him in the long run even though his condition has improved.
FYI, Kita (the Akita) also developed a heart murmur about 4 years ago.
For cirrhotic ascites is the combined use of spironolactone (Aldactone) and furosemide (Lasix). Beginning dosages are 100 mg of spironolactone and 40 mg of furosemide by mouth daily. If weight loss and natriuresis are inadequate, both drugs can be simultaneously increased after 3 to 5 days to 200 mg of spironolactone and 80 mg of furosemide. To maintain normal electrolyte balance, the use of the 100 : 40 mg ratio of spironolactone to furosemide is generally recommended.
