Generics

Digoxin

Used For

Heart Failure

How it works

It contains the active substance digoxin, which belongs to a group of medicines called cardiac glycosides. It is used to treat arrhythmias and heart failure. An arrhythmia is an irregularity in the heart-beat, which causes the heart to skip a beat, beat irregularly or beat at the wrong speed. This medicine works by correcting irregular heartbeats to a normal rhythm and strengthens the force of the heart-beat, which is why it is useful in heart failure.
