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.
What should be the dose of digitalis in heart failure?
The dose of digitalis or digoxin has been a problem for many years. So many patients do not tolerate the digoxin. There is toxicity of the drug. Patients feels nausea and gets vomiting. He may land up in cardiac arrhythmia, if you continue the drug. For years the patient was given a holiday on Sunday. So he was not supposed to take the drug on Sunday. Then Saturday off was also added to this. But the toxicity continued to occur. The half life of the drug is 36 to 48 hours. So when the drug is given on alternate day, it was found to work without the toxicity in almost all the patients. It may not be totally effective in this dose to control the heart failure. But that is what you get from digoxin. If you want the drug to work more, the toxicity is the result of such an attempt. If you get toxicity in alternate day dose, then your patient is in hypokalemia. You should give oral potassium supplement in such a case. Above dose is for the patients with normal kidney functions.
How digoxin over dose causes arrhythmias?
Digoxin overdose can lead to arrhythmias primarily by increasing intracellular calcium levels in cardiac myocytes, which enhances cardiac contractility but also disrupts normal electrical conduction. Elevated levels of digoxin can inhibit the sodium-potassium ATPase pump, leading to increased sodium and calcium concentrations inside the cell. This disrupts the resting membrane potential and can result in increased automaticity or triggered activity, ultimately causing various types of arrhythmias. Additionally, digoxin can enhance vagal tone, which may further contribute to heart rhythm disturbances.
