Cardiac glycosides are used to treat heart failure and manage certain types of irregular heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation. These medications work by increasing the force of your heart's contractions and slowing down your heart rate, which helps your heart pump more efficiently. Cardiac glycosides come in different forms, including oral pills, oral liquids, and injections. An example is digoxin (Lanoxin).
Digoxin (Digitek, Lanoxin) is an inexpensive drug used to treat congestive heart failure and heart rhythm problems. It is more popular than comparable drugs. It is available in generic and brand versions. Generic digoxin is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
Disclaimer: Popularity is based on total prescriptions for the brand and generic versions of each drug, regardless of the condition being treated. Some drugs are prescribed for multiple conditions.
