INTRODUCTION
LANOXIN 0.25MG contains Digoxin which belongs to the group of medicines called Cardiac glycosides. It is used in the management of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat, which causes the heart to skip a beat or beat at the wrong speed) and heart failure. Heart failure is a chronic condition where the heart doesn’t pump sufficient blood to other parts of the body, which is generally characterized by symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, rapid or irregular heartbeat and swelling in the legs, ankles or feet.
LANOXIN 0.25MG is not recommended for use in patients with serious heart problems (such as stokes-Adams attacks (condition where you suddenly feel faint and can pass out due to changes in heart rate) or irregular heartbeat due to cardiac glycoside intoxication).
