Consumer:

Using digoxin together with pseudoephedrine may occasionally cause an irregular heart rhythm. Patients with heart disease should generally consult with their doctor before using pseudoephedrine or similar medications, since they can affect heart rate and blood pressure. 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: The concomitant use of sympathomimetic agents and cardiac glycosides may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. The mechanism of this interaction is not known. Increased ectopic pacemaker activity has been reported to occur in patients taking digoxin in combination with pseudoephedrine.

MANAGEMENT: Caution should be exercised if these two drugs are coadministered. Electrocardiogram monitoring (ECG) is recommended. The use of epinephrine (adrenaline) with high doses of digitalis glycosides is not recommended.
