What does it do?

Digoxin belongs to the class of cardiac glycosides that increase the contractility of heart muscle. It is primarily used to treat heart failure and arrhythmias. It helps in the efficient pumping action of the heart.

Digoxin increases the intracellular calcium concentration in heart cells, helping the heart muscle contract more forcefully. This allows the heart to pump blood more effectively. It also helps regulate heartbeats, stabilizing irregular rhythms.
