Digoxin Tft

Digoxin TFT: description, application and side effects

Digoxin TFT is a cardiotonic drug that is used to treat various cardiovascular diseases. The drug is produced by the Tallinn Pharmaceutical Plant in Estonia and contains the active substance digoxin. In this article we will look at the main characteristics of the drug, its use, side effects and special instructions.

Characteristics of the drug

Digoxin TFT belongs to the group of cardiotonic drugs - cardiac glycosides. It is used to improve the contractile function of the heart, reduce the load on the heart and improve blood circulation. The drug is available in the form of an injection solution with a digoxin concentration of 0.25 mg/ml.

Application

Digoxin TFT is used to treat the following conditions:

1. Congestive circulatory failure (without hemodynamically significant obstruction of the cardiac outflow tract)
2. Atrial fibrillation
3. Supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia
4. Atrial flutter

Contraindications

Glycoside intoxication is the main contraindication to the use of digoxin TFT. This condition occurs with an overdose of the drug and is manifested by symptoms such as arrhythmia, AV block, vomiting and nausea.

Side effects

The following side effects may occur when using digoxin TFT:

1. Nausea and vomiting
2. Anorexia
3. Bradycardia
4. Ventricular extrasystole
5. AV block
6. Headache and dizziness
7. Impaired color vision, decreased visual acuity, scotomas, macro- and microopsia
8. Gynecomastia with long-term use

Interaction

Digoxin TFT may interact with other drugs and cause unwanted effects. For example, adrenomimetics can increase the likelihood of developing arrhythmia, antiarrhythmic and anticholinesterase drugs - bradycardia, and glucocorticoids, saluretics and other drugs that promote potassium loss can cause glycoside intoxication. Aminazine reduces the cardiotonic effect, and laxatives, antacids and products containing aluminum, bismuth and magnesium can reduce the absorption of digoxin. Rifampicin and sulfasalazine accelerate the metabolism of the drug.

Overdose
