🔍 Common ‘Cardiovascular Drug Interactions’❓

[Digoxin ➕ Amiodarone]

Digoxin:
◦A heart medication
◦A narrow therapeutic index (NTI) medication.
◦This means that a slight change in its dose could cause serious problems since digoxin can be vulnerable to drug interactions.

Amiodarone:

◦Another heart medication can interfere with how much digoxin reaches the bloodstream.
◦This can lead to higher amounts of digoxin than usual, and therefore more side effects.
