Welcome to the world of Heart's Health and Normal Blood Pressure
Lanoxin is widely used in the treatment of various heart conditions, namely chronic heart failure and/or atrial fibrillation and flutter (irregular heart rhythms caused by an electrical problem in the upper chambers of the heart).
It is derived from the leaves of Digitalis, a plant related to foxglove. Digitalis has been used medically for over 200 years.
Lanoxin works by slowing down the rate of the heart so that each heartbeat is more effective at pumping blood. In people with heart failure, it also helps to control the symptoms of tiredness, breathlessness and fluid retention.
Lanoxin may be used in premature and full term babies, infants and children.
It can also be used in elderly people, but because the elderly are more prone to the side effects of Lanoxin, it is usually used in smaller doses than in younger adults.
Lanoxin may be used to treat heart failure and/or irregular heart beats in pregnant women.
Follow the directions for using this medicine provided by your doctor. Take Lanoxin exactly as directed.
Lanoxin is usually taken once a day. Lanoxin tablets should be swallowed with a drink of water.
Do not stop taking Lanoxin without first talking to your doctor.
If you miss a dose of Lanoxin, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
