A member asked:
My cardiologist wants me to take low dose of digoxin but i don't have heart failure or afib why does he want me to try it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask: not sure as those two conditions are the most common reasons for prescribing Digoxin. There are many better and newer medicines for whatever condition you may have that is heart related. I would ask him and if not happy with the answer find a new cardiologist.
