Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. This is digoxin, and you should take your dose as directed by your doctor. Digoxin treats heart failure by helping heart muscles work better. It also treats abnormal heart rhythms, like atrial fibrillation, by preventing the heart rate from getting too fast. Digoxin is usually well-tolerated, but side effects can occur, like an upset stomach or mild headache. These are normal and should go away. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medicine, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist first. But, don't suddenly stop taking it unless your doctor says it's okay. You should call your doctor right away if you notice unusual changes to your body, like nausea, diarrhea, confusion, or weakness. Also call if you lose your appetite, or have changes in eyesight, like blurriness, seeing odd colors, or seeing halos around objects. To reduce side effects, your doctor will order regular blood tests. Also, it's a good idea to check your pulse and blood pressure at the same time each day, and let your doctor know of any changes. To reduce interactions, talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any new herbals or medications, even if they don't require a prescription. For best results, continue taking digoxin, because it can help you feel better, and be sure to follow the diet recommended by your doctor.
