Use this tool to estimate digoxin dosage and target level based on patient parameters and indication. Learn about the clinical evidence and recommendations for digoxin in heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
4 sie 2023 · Learn how to calculate and adjust the maintenance dose of digoxin for adults and children with congestive heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Find out the loading dose, renal and liver dose adjustments, and other precautions for digoxin.
30 maj 2006 · For atrial fibrillation, a loading dose of 0.5 to 0.75 mg, followed by a maintenance dose, is warranted when the rate is not controlled with β-blockers. To achieve chronic optimal rate control, β-blocker dose rather than digoxin dose should be adjusted.
Initial digoxin maintenance dose for adult patients with heart failure targeting a serum concentration of 0.5 to 0.9 nmol/L . This table provides initial dose recommendations based upon a nomogram tested at a single center in nondialysis patients.
19 sty 2023 · Clinical staff should monitor the plasma digoxin level at least 6 or 12 hours post-administration of the last loading dose, as this is the time to achieve steady-state levels. The recommended thresholds of therapeutic serum digoxin levels are 0.5 to 2 ng/mL.
Prescribe a loading dose of 250–750 micrograms a day for 7 days, followed by a maintenance dose. A clinical response is usually seen within one week. The BNF recommends a loading dose for rapid digitalisation of 750 micrograms to 1.5 mg in divided doses, dose to be given over 24 hours.
