digoxin verapamil interaction

hi, i want to ask you that which of the digoxin or verapamil are better for prophylactic treatment of paroxysmal superaventricular tachycardia for sone one who was treatet with intravenous adenosine?

s common use is for Afib and Aflutter, beta and calcium channel blockers are the more modern medicine of choice. Digoxin has potentially dangerous interactions with verapamil, and amiodarone, and a number of other commonly prescribed drugs.

ll get vomit with Digoxin. Then he put Verapamil and Flecainide. I was spinning to sleep every night. I took the verapamil off by myself. Just the Flecainide by itself was fine. After 2 months, my heart beats very irregular. Big thumb here and there. Looks like restart every few minutes. GP wrote me to ER. I get admitted. The doctor told me that the Flecainide was not working anymore. Anyway, I already implanted a 2 leads pacemaker. I got Wolff Parkinsons White Syndrome.

During af I got bisoprolol (not good, stopped), Digoxin and Dilmin (not good, stopped). Digoxin and atenolol were left until I got Multaq a week before electric cardioversion. Atenolol has been very good for me to prevent tachycardia for tens of years. Most betablockers are not good for me. Calcium blockers are not good either, eg. Verapamil is forbidden. I don't know Crestor and Cartia. Do you know to what group of medicines they belong? Now I have been without af over nine months.

So I had a pretty crappy cold about a week and a half ago, now being on digoxin I can't take cold meds so I stick it out. Well the cold is now over and my teeth are hurting. I see no signs of abscess' and my mom thinks it might be a sinus infection. No from what I've read online they usually give amoxcillin to treat it. My question is has anyone else on digoxin taken amoxcillin? Is it safe. Being on dig I know there's a lot of stuff we can and can not take.

the dr found several severe atrial tachycardias & my heart rate going to 270 bpm. he has put me on Digoxin so we'll c if that helps..is any1else taking Digoxin?

I haven't seen any evidence to suggest so. Just to clarify something Cindy mentions above, Verapamil isn't a beta blocker. Verapamil is a calcium channel clocker. Verapamil is a class IV antiarrhythmic. It alters calcium uptake in the heart's muscle cells. Its intended use is for lowering blood pressure. One could say that being on it for 5 years caused your heart muscle to get used to it. Stopping it abruptly was a no-no.

Medicines that were tried and discontinued for either side effects or not helping- lopressor, florinef, midodrine, and verapamil. Currently, I am not being treated by any physician for my P.O.T.S.. After a recent abnormal holter monitor, during which my heart climbed as high as 160 (standing after sleeping), a doctor asked me if I'd ever taken digoxin.

Does anyone know of any interactions between foods and verapamil ? or Allergic reactions as well. I have been hunting on the Internet and cant find anything on it. very little on Allergic reactions. as I have taken this drug before, and was switched off a nasty beta blocker Toprol xl -and put on verapamil - about 3months ago.. iv been ok- but got a few side effects, but nothing bad.. so far.. up untill today, when I got a slight burning feeling in my left arm - upper area only.

was then changed to another mfg watson - this is worse clashing or interaction happening ! pharm says -they dont make ivax pills in dose I need ? lucky I can cutt normal ivax pills to needed doseage . has anyone, anywhere had this problem before mfg to mfg of meds ? I think its the fillers they use in the meds that clash (has to be ) just want to confirm this problem.

I was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure after a brief stay in the hospital (admitted from the ER with chest pains). I was given several tests, including an echocardiogram and a nuclear stress test.

s these medications she takes for dilated cardiomyopathy she has recently begun digoxin, and this has improved her ef, and has improved overall heart function working in conjunction with the other meds she is currently at the max dosage of coreg, and with the exception of occasional low bp she has tolerated it very well (though i will caution everyone that at the start of taking coreg the side effects can be troublesome, she had two issues of very low bp that actually made her "dro

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.

thanks Research about the interaction of grapefruit juice with drugs suggests that compounds in grapefruit juice, called furanocoumarins (for example, bergamottin), may be responsible for the effects of grapefruit juice. Researchers believe that furanocoumarins block the enzymes in the intestines that normally break down many drugs. One glass of grapefruit juice could elicit the maximum blocking effect, and the effect may persist for longer than 24 hours.

i take 240 milligrams of verapamil at nightime does anyone know if this gives you headaches.

I was recently diagnosed with OI and POTS and was told that I may have to start taking verapamil. Since this is normally used to treat hypertension, how would it help hypotension?

Initially, it sounds like a stress response. If you're very anxious, even subconsciously, about the interaction, then your body will elevate temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate etc. It can be very subtle or very extreme. Also, have your vision checked. The dizziness and headache could also be eye strain. I recommend first seeing your doctor to rule out medical issues. If it is anxiety, your doctor can help with either an anti-depressant or ant-anxiety medication.
