Indications
Centoxin is used to treat heart failure and atrial fibrillation in which the ventricular rate is not controlled. It is also used for acute left ventricular failure, as well as chronic left ventricular failure and congestive heart failure, particularly when these are caused by hypertensive valvular disease (especially involving the mitral valve) or ischaemic heart disease.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used mainly in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Its main effects are to strengthen the force of the heart's contractions (a positive inotropic effect) and to slow conduction through the heart, particularly through the atrioventricular node. Digoxin also acts directly on the smooth muscle of blood vessels, and produces indirect effects mainly through the autonomic nervous system, especially by increasing vagal activity.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Digoxin passes into breast milk, but at levels lower than those in the mother's blood, so it poses no risk to a breastfeeding infant.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
