Digoxin (0.25 Mg)

Dixin Tablet is mainly used to help manage heart failure, a condition where the heart can't pump blood efficiently. This medicine belongs to a class of medications known as cardiac glycosides.

In addition to managing heart failure, this medicine also helps regulate the heart's rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter, which are irregular heart rhythms that can lead to heart-related complications. It is also used for managing paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, a condition where the heart suddenly beats very fast.

Before you start taking this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage and frequency for you. Make sure to let your doctor know about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you're taking. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, inform your doctor right away. For the best results, continue taking this medicine for the full duration your doctor prescribes.

Vomiting
Loss of appetite
Diarrhoea or constipation
Dizziness and fatigue
Headache
Blurred or yellow vision: This side effect is due to an adverse reaction in your eyes caused by the medicine.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve by discontinuing the use of Dixin Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips for managing common side effects:

Nausea: Try taking Dixin Tablet with food to lessen this effect.
Diarrhoea: Consume plenty of water and healthy fluids to avoid dehydration.

Dixin Tablet contains Digoxin (0.25 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

Inhibits Sodium-Potassium ATPase Pump: Digoxin blocks a pump in your heart cells that normally moves sodium out and potassium in. By inhibiting this pump, sodium levels inside the cells increase.
Increases Intracellular Calcium Concentrations: The increased sodium inside the cells indirectly leads to an increase in calcium levels within the heart cells. This heightened calcium level strengthens the force of the heart's contractions, which helps improve the heart's efficiency in pumping blood.
Slows Down Electrical Impulses Through AV Node: Digoxin slows the speed at which electrical impulses pass through the AV node in your heart. This helps control the heart's rhythm and reduces the rate at which the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart) beat, particularly in conditions like atrial fibrillation and flutter.
