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: Benzodiazepines may increase serum levels of digoxin. The mechanism is unknown, but may be related to alterations of digoxin protein binding.
