Digoxin

Chemical formula: C₄₁H₆₄O₁₄  Molecular mass: 780.939 g/mol  PubChem compound: 2724385

Therapeutic indications

Digoxin is indicated for:

Chronic systolic heart failure

Population group: only adolescents (12 years - 18 years old) , adults (18 years old or older)

Digoxin is indicated in the management of chronic cardiac failure where the dominant problem is systolic dysfunction. The therapeutic benefit of digoxin is greater in patients with ventricular dilatation.

Digoxin is specifically indicated where cardiac failure is accompanied by atrial fibrillation.

Chronic atrial fibrillation

Population group: only adolescents (12 years - 18 years old) , adults (18 years old or older)

Digoxin is indicated in the management of certain supraventricular arrhythmias, particularly chronic atrial fibrillation and flutter, where its major beneficial effect is to reduce the ventricular rate.
