Digoxin

I've been prescribed Digoxin to reduce my heart rate. Does anyone have experience of side effects or contra-indications? I've read that it shouldn't be taken with flecainide, atorvastatin, or omeprazole, all of which I take! The doctor hasn't given me any warnings.

I take digoxin with atorvastatin without issue. The amount of digoxin that I take is very small and unless I show any serious side effects, which I don't, I consider it is safe to take. If I had any concerns I would contact the pharmacist at my GP surgery. Most of what we take can interact with other drugs but generally we'll know very quickly if we have a problem.

Not what you're looking for?
