Precautions
The safe range for digoxin is narrow, so blood levels, potassium and kidney function are checked from time to time. Low potassium makes toxicity more likely, which matters if you also take a water tablet. Vomiting, confusion, visual halos or a very slow pulse are warning signs and need a same day review. Many medicines interact with it, so always mention digoxin before starting anything new.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
