Digoxin is contraindicated in patients with certain conditions, including severe bradycardia, advanced AV block (unless a pacemaker is present), and certain types of arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation. Additionally, it should be used cautiously in individuals with significant renal impairment, as it can lead to toxicity due to decreased clearance. Patients with known hypersensitivity to digoxin or other cardiac glycosides should also avoid its use.

Why diltiazem cuse toxicity when taken with digoxin?
Diltiazem can cause toxicity when taken with digoxin because it inhibits the metabolism of digoxin, leading to increased levels of digoxin in the bloodstream. This interaction occurs due to diltiazem's effect on the cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP3A4, which are responsible for metabolizing digoxin. Elevated digoxin levels can result in toxicity, manifesting as nausea, vomiting, arrhythmias, or visual disturbances. Therefore, careful monitoring of digoxin levels is essential when these medications are co-administered.

How is digoxin associated with hypokalemia?
Usually, hyperkalemia is associated with usage of digoxin. This is due to the blocking action of digoxin on the Na/K ase which results in accumulation of extracellular K+.Most of the times, patients presenting with heart problems are already on diuretics before they are prescribed with digoxin. Diuretics cause hypokalemia as they result in excessive excretion of K+ from the body. Hypokalemia in turn causes digoxin toxicity. Digoxin toxicity does not cause hypokalemia, but hypokalemia can worsen digoxin toxicity.
