Anyone have experience with digoxin?

Posted by lindabuza @lindabuza, 1 day ago

I take Eliquis and metropolol and started digoxin right before I had a cardio version back in July and all was well. At my follow up appointment, my dr. said to start taking the digoxin every other day, rather than daily. My Afib came back. He is now referring me to an electrophysiologist who is based in Nashville and only visits my town every other week. Anyone else had issues with digoxin?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

Hi @lindabuza.
If you have not reviewed this already you may want to read Mayo Clinic’s overview about the medication digoxin, typically used to treat heart failure or in your case, atrial fibrillation.
- Digoxin overview: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/digoxin-oral-route/description/drg-20072646#drug-brand-names

I am tagging @dnanewnorth89 that has made reference to both cardio version and dioxin. Also @geomom that has also recently started digoxin.

A discussion in the Heart Rhythm Condition Support Group has good conversation about cardio version use and success that may be helpful: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cardioversion-and-metoprolol/?pg=1#comment-1247123

What the reason your doctor gave for backing off the frequency of taking digoxin, and what dose are you taking?

He never gave a reason, he just said “ go to every other day”. The dosage is 125mcg, 1 tablet daily
