You should talk to your GP before taking any supplements while on digoxin. It's one of those finicky medicines.

As above. Talk to a pharmacist or your GP before taking any supplement with any medication.

Yes I should have done that I cannot take my normal antibiotics with digoxin either I am allergic to penicillin and now have to take a new very complicated to take antibiotic thank you for replying and padthai too it certainly does not like mixing much with other types of med. Finicky certainly is the word

I’m also on Digoxin and asked my GP about taking Magnesium supplements and was told not to touch them with a barge pole.

I read that Sadly our modern diet is very low in magnesium due to farming methods. if you google it and read several reports it seems digoxin depletes magnesium and it could be beneficial to take magnesium. I have taken it for a long time and feel its very beneficial. If on antibiotics you need to leave a couple of hours either side. But do google it. Many gp's are very reluctant to use anything complementary. Sadly as it can really help. Read up on Sandy Gupta. York cardiologist. He is hot on magnesium for af. Btw the first thing they do in hospital for cardiac events is give magnesium.
