Lanoxin Pg

Digoxin, the active ingredient in Lanoxin Pg, is a cardiac glycoside presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It treats heart failure and atrial fibrillation in adult patients. GNH USA supplies Lanoxin Pg as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Lanoxin Pg (digoxin) is used in cardiovascular conditions that involve impaired contractility or abnormal rhythm control. - Heart failure: improves cardiac output and reduces symptoms of fluid overload. - Atrial fibrillation: slows atrioventricular nodal conduction to control ventricular rate.

Digoxin may cause a range of adverse reactions that vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate upset stomach. - Vomiting: occasional emesis, especially after dose initiation. - Diarrhea: loose stools without blood. - Fatigue: generalized tiredness. - Blurred vision: transient visual disturbances. - Headache: mild cranial discomfort.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Cardiac arrhythmias: potentially life‑threatening rhythm disturbances. - Severe bradycardia: markedly slowed heart rate. - Heart block: impaired electrical conduction. - Hyperkalemia: elevated serum potassium levels. - Allergic skin reactions: rash or urticaria. - Visual halos: yellow‑green colored visual disturbances.

When prescribing digoxin, clinicians should consider several safety measures to minimize toxicity. - Renal impairment: adjust dose and monitor serum levels. - Electrolyte balance: correct hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypercalcemia before therapy. - Elderly patients: start with lower doses and assess tolerance. - Concomitant arrhythmias: avoid use in patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias. - Drug monitoring: obtain periodic digoxin serum concentrations. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Digoxin interacts with several medicines that can alter its plasma concentration or cardiac effects.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Amiodarone: markedly increases digoxin levels, raising toxicity risk. - Quinidine: elevates serum digoxin concentrations. - Verapamil: potentiates digoxin effects and may cause bradyarrhythmias.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Loop diuretics: cause hypokalemia, enhancing digoxin toxicity. - NSAIDs: may reduce renal clearance, necessitating serum level checks.
