About DIXIN 0.25MG INJECTION 2ML

DIXIN 0.25MG INJECTION 2ML belongs to the group of medicines called cardiac glycosides used to treat heart failure and irregular heartbeats. Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood as effectively as it should. Irregular heartbeat is a condition in which the heart beats irregularly, i.e., too fast, or too slow. 

DIXIN 0.25MG INJECTION 2ML contains Digoxin that works on the heart muscle and increases the force with which heart muscle contracts with each heartbeat. Thereby, it makes the heart efficient in pumping blood around the body and slows down the rate at which the heart beats.

If you are known to be allergic to Digoxin or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to consult a doctor before taking DIXIN 0.25MG INJECTION 2ML. If you have beriberi disease caused by vitamin B1 deficiency, malabsorption syndrome (unable to absorb minerals from food), or any lung or kidney disease, please inform your doctor before taking DIXIN 0.25MG INJECTION 2ML so that the dose may be adjusted or an alternate medicine may be prescribed accordingly.
