    This document provides information about the drug digoxin, including its brand name (Lanoxin), generic name, dosage, classification, mechanism of action, potential adverse reactions, and nursing considerations. Digoxin is an antidysrhythmic and inotropic agent that works by inhibiting the sodium-potassium ATPase pump in cardiac myocytes. Adverse reactions include weakness, mood changes, vision changes, and enlarged breasts in men. Nurses should monitor blood pressure, ECG, and the IV site when administering digoxin and notify healthcare providers of any new arrhythmias or bradycardia.
