About Dixin Pead Solution 60 ml

Dixin Pead Solution 60 ml belongs to a group of medicines called cardiac glycosides used to treat irregular heartbeats and manage the symptoms of heart failure. 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 your heart beats irregularly, too fast or too slow.

Dixin Pead Solution 60 ml contains digoxin, i.e. cardiac glycosides that help to increase the output force of the heart and reduces the rate of heart contractions. Dixin Pead Solution 60 ml works on the heart muscle directly and increases the force with which heart muscle contracts with each heartbeat. Thereby, it makes heart efficient in pumping blood around the body and slows down the rate at which heartbeats.
