Lanoxin Pg

Digoxin, the active ingredient in Lanoxin Pg, is a cardiac glycoside presented as an oral tablet for systemic use. It improves cardiac contractility and helps control ventricular response in patients with heart failure and certain atrial arrhythmias by influencing ion transport in heart muscle cells. GNH USA supplies Lanoxin Pg as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used in the management of cardiovascular conditions that affect heart contractility and rhythm.

- Heart failure: improves cardiac output and reduces symptoms of fluid overload. - Atrial fibrillation: slows ventricular rate by enhancing AV nodal conduction delay. - Atrial flutter: helps control ventricular response and may aid in rhythm conversion.

Digoxin may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to potentially life‑threatening.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Vomiting: occasional emesis. - Diarrhea: loose stools. - Fatigue: generalized tiredness. - Visual disturbances: blurred or yellow‑green vision. - Headache: mild cranial pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Cardiac arrhythmias: potentially fatal rhythm disturbances. - Severe bradycardia: markedly slowed heart rate. - Hyperkalemia: elevated blood potassium levels. - Pulmonary edema: fluid accumulation in lungs. - Anaphylactic reaction: rare hypersensitivity.

When prescribing digoxin, clinicians should consider several safety measures to minimize risk. - Renal function: adjust dose in patients with impaired clearance. - Electrolyte balance: monitor potassium and magnesium levels. - Drug level monitoring: obtain serum digoxin concentration as indicated. - Concomitant medications: review for agents that affect digoxin metabolism or increase toxicity. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefit outweighs potential risk. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in original container, protected from moisture and light.

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Amiodarone: markedly increases digoxin levels, risk of toxicity. - Quinidine: raises serum digoxin, may cause arrhythmias. - Verapamil: enhances digoxin effect, leading to bradycardia.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics (e.g., furosemide, thiazides): may cause electrolyte disturbances that predispose to toxicity. - ACE inhibitors and ARBs: can increase digoxin levels modestly. - Beta‑blockers: additive effect on heart rate and AV conduction.
