The digoxin - The most widely used of the digitalis drugs. Digoxin is used in the treatment of heart failure and certain types of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), such as atrial fibrillation.
Blood tests are sometimes needed to ensure the correct digoxin dose, especially in patients with kidney disease. An excessive dose may cause headache, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, and visual disturbances. Digoxin occasionally disrupts the normal heartbeat, causing heart block.
