Pharmacologic Class: Cardiac Glycoside
Chemical Class: Digitalis Glycoside
Digoxin is used in combination with a diuretic ("water pill") and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor to treat congestive heart failure and a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation.
Digoxin belongs to the class of medicines called digitalis glycosides. It is used to improve the strength and efficiency of the heart, or to control the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. This leads to better blood circulation and reduced swelling of the hands and ankles in patients with heart problems.

Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of digoxin in children. However, infants are more likely to be very sensitive to the effects of digoxin which may require an individual dose for infants receiving digoxin.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of digoxin in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney or heart problems which may require an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving digoxin.

For safe and effective use of bismuth subsalicylate:
For patients using bismuth subsalicylate to treat diarrhea:
If you are taking the oral suspension: Use the dose cup that is included to measure out the right amount of medicine. If you are unsure, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
If you are taking the oral tablets: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

The dose of bismuth subsalicylate will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of bismuth subsalicylate. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of bismuth subsalicylate, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Check the labels of all over-the-counter (OTC), nonprescription, and prescription medicines you now take. If any contain aspirin or other salicylates, be especially careful. Using other salicylate-containing products while taking bismuth subsalicylate may lead to overdose. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.
For diabetic patients:
If you think that you or anyone else may have taken an overdose, get emergency help at once. Taking an overdose of bismuth subsalicylate may cause unconsciousness or death. Signs of overdose include convulsions (seizures), hearing loss, confusion, ringing or buzzing in the ears, severe drowsiness or tiredness, severe excitement or nervousness, and fast or deep breathing.
