Digoxin Tablets 100 Count
Digoxin is used to treat heart diseases in cats and dogs. Diseases such as congestive heart failure and types of heart rhythm disorders can be helped with digoxin. Digoxin increases the contraction strength of the heart and helps reduce strain to maintain a normal healthy and strong heartbeat.
Item Specifications:
Dosage:
Use as Directed by your Veterinarian.
How it works:
Digoxin works by affecting the minerals sodium and potassium inside your pet's heart cells. This action reduces strain on the heart and helps it maintain a normal, steady, and strong beat.
Cautions:
Because the difference between the treatment dose and the dose that causes side effects is small, do not adjust the medication without contacting your veterinarian. Contact your veterinarian if your pet shows decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, incoordination, changes in urination, or weakness while being treated with digoxin.
