INTRODUCTION

DIXIN
PEAD contains Digoxin which belongs to the group of medicine called
cardiac glycosides. It is indicated for the management of arrhythmias
and heart failure. An arrhythmia is a heart rhythm disorder
characterized by abnormal generation and conduction of cardiac impulses
leading to an irregular heartbeat. As a result, the heart beats at a
wrong speed which causes chest pain, fluttering in the heart, fainting
or dizziness. Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart
does not pump adequate amount of blood required for the circulation.
Symptoms includes fatigue, difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath,
swollen legs and fast heartbeat.

Digoxin works by correcting the
abnormal heart rhythm into a normal rhythm. It also improves cardiac
contractility and ejection fraction which makes the heart pump more
efficiently and increases blood circulation throughout the body. While
taking this medicine, your doctor would periodically monitor your
kidneys and concentration of digoxin in blood to avoid unwanted side
effects. This medicine can be taken with or without meals. However,
avoid taking this medicine with foods rich in fibre, as it interferes in
the absorption of digoxin.

The most common side effects of
taking this medicine are nausea, vomiting, palpitation, dizziness or
blurred vision. Contact your doctor if any of the symptoms bothers you.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any heart
disease apart from arrhythmia and heart failure. This medicine should be
taken with caution in patients having lung or kidney disease. If you
are pregnant, or think you may be pregnant or breastfeeding, consult
your doctor before taking this medicine. Your doctor would select an
appropriate dose for you depending upon your condition.

HOW DIXIN PEAD WORKS

Following
oral administration, digoxin directly stimulates the parasympathetic
nervous system through vagus nerve and slows the electrical conduction
in the AV (atrioventricular) node, thus decreasing the heart rate. It
also increases cardiac contractility by reversibly inhibiting the
activity of an enzyme called Na-K ATPase pump (sodium-pump) which is
responsible for controlling the movement of ions into the heart. This
increases the influx of sodium and calcium in the myocardial cells,
leading to an increase in the force of contraction, thus making the
heart pump more efficiently.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Take
this medicine as directed by your physician. It can be taken with or
without meals. Shake well before use. Your doctor will decide the
correct dose and duration for you depending upon your age, body weight
and health condition. Continue to take this medicine, as long as your
doctor tells you to do so, to obtain better results.
