Dioxin 50mcg|ml Syrup

Dioxin 50mcg|ml Syrup contains Digoxin 50mcg, a cardiac glycoside heart medicine. Made by Xenon Pharmaceuticals ., it is prescribed for atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and heart failure. Pack size: 1 syrup.

Uses of Dioxin 50mcg|ml Syrup

Dioxin 50mcg|ml Syrup is used to control a fast heart rate in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, conditions in which the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly or too quickly. It is also used in some people with heart failure to improve symptoms such as breathlessness and tiredness, often alongside other heart medicines. It helps manage these conditions over the long term rather than reversing the underlying problem.

How Dioxin 50mcg|ml Syrup works

Digoxin slows the electrical signals passing from the upper to the lower chambers of the heart, which brings a fast heart rate down. It also increases the amount of calcium available to heart muscle cells, helping each heartbeat pump more strongly and efficiently.

Possible side effects

Dioxin 50mcg|ml Syrup has a narrow safety margin, so its side effects are worth knowing about. Common ones include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Diarrhoea
• Tiredness or weakness
• Dizziness

Seek medical help urgently if you have blurred vision or see yellow-green halos, confusion, a very slow, fast or irregular heartbeat, or persistent vomiting, as these can be signs of digoxin toxicity.

Precautions and warnings

• The difference between a helpful and a harmful level of Dioxin 50mcg|ml Syrup is small, so your doctor may check blood levels, kidney function and potassium regularly.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, thyroid problems, low potassium or magnesium, or high calcium levels, as these increase the risk of toxicity.
• Many medicines interact with it, including amiodarone, verapamil, diltiazem, some antibiotics, diuretics and indigestion remedies, so check before starting anything new.
• If you forget a dose, do not take extra to make up for it.
• Discuss pregnancy and breastfeeding with your doctor; it may be used when needed under close supervision.
