Definition
English
:
A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from
Digitalis
lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone
DIGOXIGENIN
.
Digoxin
has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to
control
ventricular rate in
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
and in the
management
of congestive
heart failure
with
atrial fibrillation
. Its use in congestive
heart failure
and sinus rhythm is less certain. The
margin
between toxic and therapeutic doses is small. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p666)
