Medical Information: Digoxin tablets and injection both contain the active ingredient digoxin which is a type of medicine called a cardiac glycoside. Digoxin is a form of digitalis a drug that is extracted from the leaves of the foxglove plant. It is used to treat arrhythmias atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Digoxin is also available without a brand name ie as the generic medicine. Digoxin works directly on the heart muscle. It slows down the rate at which the heart beats and also increases the force with which the heart muscle contracts with every heartbeat. This makes each heartbeat more efficient at pumping blood around the body. Digoxin is used to treat certain abnormal heart rhythms caused by abnormal contractions in the upper part of the heart in particular a condition called atrial fibrillation (AF). In AF the upper two chambers of the heart called the atria contract very rapidly and the lower two chambers of the heart called the ventricles respond by beating rapidly and irregularly. An irregular heartbeat is not very efficient at pumping blood around the body. By slowing the heart rate and making each beat more forceful digoxin makes the heart pump more efficiently in this condition. Digoxin is also used to treat heart failure a condition where the heart's ability to pump blood around the body is diminished. By improving the efficiency of each heartbeat digoxin allows the heart to continue to effectively pump blood and oxygen around the body.P>The blood level of digoxin that is needed for it to be effective is quite close to the blood level that can cause unwanted effects. This is true of a few medicines and is described as a narrow therapeutic index. Treatment with the medicine is still safe but your doctor will monitor your digoxin treatment closely and may take blood tests to check the level of digoxin in your blood. You should tell your doctor if you experience any side effects during treatment particularly nausea and vomiting loss of appetite visual disturbances heart palpitations or confusion as these may indicate your blood level of digoxin is too high and that your dose needs reducing. What is it used for? Heart failure.Abnormal heart rhythms caused by abnormal contractions in the upper part of the heart (supraventricular arrhythmias).Irregular heartbeat caused by very rapid contraction of the top two chambers of the heart (atrial fibrillation).

Statins may increase production of the enzyme creatine kinase, and hence heighten chances of muscle damage in athletes. Marathon running has increased in popularity over the past three decades, with participation in the United States rising from 25,000 runners in 1976 to nearly 470,000 in 2008. Many professional and recreational runners take prescription drugs, unaware of potential side-effects that affect runners in particular. One such class of drugs, called statins, which includes medicines such as Lipitor, Crestor and Pravachol, lowers blood cholesterol by inhibiting a cholesterol-producing enzyme and may even lower the risks of heart attack and further cardiovascular disease in a narrow category of patients. A new study forthcoming in the American Journal of Cardiology examined the effect of statins on creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme linked to muscle damage. Elevated levels of CK in the blood and muscle after exercise correlates with muscle damage. The study, conducted by Dr Beth Parker of the Henry Low Heart Centre at Connecticut's Hartford Hospital, is the first to measure CK levels in athletes taking statins after physical activity in a real-life environment rather than in a university laboratory.
