Digoxin

Digoxin is a medication commonly used to treat heart conditions, particularly heart failure and certain types of irregular heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation. It works by increasing the strength and efficiency of heart contractions, which helps the heart pump more effectively. Additionally, digoxin can slow down a fast heartbeat, helping to restore a more regular rhythm. It's derived from the leaves of the foxglove plant and has been used for many years. While it can be very effective, it requires careful monitoring, as too much can be harmful.
