Extracted from the foxglove plant, digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used to strengthen the failing heart's contraction and to slow the ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and flutter. It inhibits the sodium-potassium ATPase pump in heart muscle, which indirectly raises intracellular calcium and increases the force of each beat, while its effects on the vagus nerve slow conduction through the atrioventricular node. A large steroidal glycoside (C41H64O14) with a long half-life of roughly 36 to 48 hours, it is notable for a narrow therapeutic window: concentrations only modestly above the effective range can provoke dangerous rhythm disturbances, so blood levels are monitored. One of the oldest heart medicines still in use, digoxin remains an approved option for selected patients with heart failure and rate control.

Minor Digoxin + Valsartan

Valsartan may slightly increase digoxin plasma levels by reducing its renal clearance; the interaction is generally modest.

Minor Digoxin + Sitagliptin

Sitagliptin modestly increases digoxin exposure through inhibition of P-glycoprotein-mediated renal tubular secretion, though the effect is unlikely to be clinically significant at therapeutic digoxin doses.

Moderate Digoxin + Spironolactone

Spironolactone can increase digoxin levels by reducing its renal clearance and may cross-react with some digoxin immunoassays, confounding monitoring.

Moderate Digoxin + Diltiazem

Diltiazem significantly increases digoxin plasma levels through P-gp inhibition and may additionally slow AV nodal conduction, exacerbating bradycardia or heart block.

Moderate Digoxin + Furosemide

Furosemide-induced hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia increase the risk of digoxin toxicity even when digoxin levels remain within the conventional therapeutic range.

Moderate Digoxin + Metoprolol

Metoprolol adds to digoxin's rate-slowing effect at the AV node, increasing the risk of bradycardia and AV block in susceptible patients.

Moderate Digoxin + Albuterol

Albuterol-induced hypokalaemia can potentiate digoxin toxicity by increasing myocardial sensitivity to digoxin at any given plasma concentration.

Moderate Digoxin + Carvedilol

Carvedilol increases digoxin plasma concentrations through P-gp inhibition and adds negative chronotropic and dromotropic effects, increasing the risk of bradycardia and AV block.
