Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside extracted from the foxglove plant, digitalis. It is widely used in the treatment of various heart conditions, namely atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and congestive heart failure that cannot be controlled by other medication. Digoxin preparations are commonly marketed under the trade name Lanoxin.
Actions
The main pharmacological effects of digoxin are on the heart. Extracardiac effects are responsible for many of the adverse effects (see below).
Its main cardiac effects are:
- A decrease of conduction of electrical impulses through the AV node, making it a commonly used drug in controlling the heart rate during atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
- An increase of force of contraction via inhibition of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump (see below).

Despite my spreadsheet and Drs drug tracking system we both failed to predict I would run out of Digoxin 1 week before next appointment.
