Understanding Digoxin: Your Heart's Gentle Strengthener
Digoxin is a trusted cardiac glycoside medication that has been helping Filipinos manage heart failure and irregular heart rhythms (atrial fibrillation) for over 200 years. Derived from the foxglove plant, this time-tested medicine is listed in both the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition and the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, confirming its status as a life-saving, evidence-based treatment for cardiovascular health.
How Digoxin Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your heart is like a tired battery that can't pump blood effectively. Digoxin acts like a "heart charger"—it makes your heart muscle contractions stronger and slows down the heart rate. This means:
- Stronger pumps: Each heartbeat pushes more blood to your body
- Slower rhythm: Gives your heart more time to fill with blood between beats
- Better circulation: Reduces fluid buildup in lungs and legs (edema)
- Improved breathing: Less shortness of breath during daily activities

When Digoxin is Prescribed
This medicine is essential for:
- Heart Failure: When your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs
- Atrial Fibrillation: Irregular, often rapid heart rhythm that can cause poor blood flow
- Atrial Flutter: Similar to AFib but with more organized electrical signals
- Supraventricular Tachycardia: Abnormally fast heart rate originating above the ventricles
Safety & Side Effects: Critical Information ⚠️
Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index—meaning the difference between a helpful dose and a harmful dose is small. This is why regular monitoring is crucial:
- Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, confusion—these may signal digoxin toxicity
- Serious warning signs (call doctor immediately): Vision changes (yellow-green halos around lights), severe irregular heartbeat, fainting, severe weakness
- Critical precautions:
- Never skip or double doses—consistency is vital
- Inform all doctors you're taking digoxin before any new medication
- Report vomiting or diarrhea immediately (can affect drug levels)
- Limit high-fiber foods and certain antacids that reduce absorption
- Drug interactions: Many medicines interact with digoxin (diuretics, antibiotics, heart rhythm drugs). Always check with our doctor during teleconsultation
Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Digoxin: Ang Maaasahang Lakas ng Iyong Puso
Ang Digoxin ay isang cardiac glycoside na gamot na matagal nang tinatagalan ng mga Pilipino para sa heart failure at irregular na tibok ng puso (atrial fibrillation). Nanggaling ito sa halamang foxglove at nakalista sa Philippine National Formulary (8th Edition) at WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, kaya siguradong de-kalidad at aprubado ng gobyerno.
Paano Gumagana ang Digoxin?
Imahe-in na ang iyong puso ay isang pagod na baterya. Ang Digoxin ay parang "charger" ng puso—pinapalakas nito ang pag-urong ng puso at pinapabagal ang tibok. Resulta: mas maraming dugo ang napupunta sa katawan, mas magandang sirkulasyon, at mas kaunting pagkahingal.
