Digoxin may be prescribed in some cases to strengthen heart muscle contraction.
Our study compared the efficacy and safety of prophylactic treatment with digoxin and amiodarone.
These infants were all treated with antiarrhythmic drugs, including digoxin and amiodarone.
The patient developed major respiratory problems with retention of carbon dioxide despite endotracheal intubation and treatment with diuretics and digoxin.
Routine treatment with digoxin was performed in the majority of the cases, with diuretics in a few of them and with vasodilators in one.
No fetal response to digoxin was noted at 72 hours, and repeat fetal ultrasonography showed worsening pleural effusions.
Six of the 7 patients were treated with digoxin and diuretics and eventually were discharged home.
Clinically significant interactions occur with digoxin and with other liver-metabolized drugs.
One patient with atrial flutter alternating with fibrillation required digoxin to control rapid ventricular rate.
