Hi should digoxin be used indefinitely, as this was prescribed after my mother’s operation and I’m not sure if this is making her symptoms worse.

Potentially yes. However, anybody on Digoxin should have regular blood tests to monitor the drug's level in their blood. If you are concerned you need to talk to your mother's doctors as they will know about the whys and wherefores of the prescribing.

Not what you're looking for?
