Corvert and Lanoxin

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Using digoxin together with ibutilide may increase the effects of digoxin. Contact your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea, confusion, seizures, hallucinations, light "halos" around objects, green or yellow vision, fatigue, irregular heartbeats, and abnormally fast or slow heartbeats. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MONITOR: Coadministration of digoxin does not appear to significantly affect the kinetics, safety, or efficacy of ibutilide. The clinician should be aware, however, that supraventricular arrhythmias may mask the cardiotoxicity associated with excessive digoxin levels.

MANAGEMENT: It is advisable to be particularly cautious with patients in whom digoxin toxicity is suspected and with patients whose plasma digoxin levels are above normal or are suspected to be above the usual therapeutic range.
