Digoxin

Digoxin (Lanoxin®) makes your heart pump more efficiently. Digoxin can also help control an irregular heart rhythm. It may help you breathe easier and feel better.

If you take antacids that contain aluminum, the effect of digoxin may be decreased. Never double up on doses of digoxin. Call your health care provider if you miss two or more doses.
