serum digoxin level

So you reach a therapeutic level your physician intended you to be at, but the drug continues to slowly build beyond that therapeutic level the physician intended you to be at. Digoxin is known for its narrow magrgin between therapeutic and toxic, so I would think your blood should be check frequently to ensure that you're at a safe level.

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 went to my cardiologist, she increased my digoxin from .25 to .375 and told me that my potassium level was on the lower end of normal to eat a banana or drink a glass of OJ daily. I had asked her if she thought it was some sort of panic attack (I have no prior panic attacks) with really no response other than lets monitor for the next 3 months. Well it has been 3 weeks now and I have woken up at least 2 times a week w/ the same problem.

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...

On day 21 of my cycle my serum progesterone was at a level of 111. Is this good or is it a typing error.

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.

The *one* exception to this consistency is her one medication, Digoxin, which she takes every *second* day at 6pm. I have brought this up numerous times with her doctors and they seem to not be all that interested. Now despite the fact that her episodes start before her Digoxin dose, and don't end immediately afterward I still cannot fathom how it could not be somehow related... some threshold of one medication crossing with another that at a certain level is triggering.

I just came across this when googling the same question as the OP (myown). I have a 3 yr. old female Chihuahua that has epilepsy. Since I adopted her (at 1 yr. old), I immediately brought her to the vet to start her on Phenobarbital due to frequent seizures (sometimes a couple a day before medication started). We had to keep increasing by half a pill( per the vet's orders due to continuing seizures) until we reached the "magic number" of 2 pills AM, 2 PM.

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.

I also do not know anything specific about Digoxin, but understand it is, or acts similarly to, a beta blocker. If that is the case, it likely lowers you BP which could cause both dizziness and fatigue. It has been my experience with BB, that it takes months to adjust. I take Metoprolol to lower my HR which is driven by AFib. It helps, and in the beginning gave me a case of too low BP, but that has mostly gone away... my BP is now near normal, again.

Dear Doctor I am writing this from India My Son was diagnosied (provisional diagnosis) of Viral Myocarditis when he was 2 weeks old and he was in ICU for 2 weeks (in Dec 2005) .
