Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside derived from the foxglove plant Digitalis lanata. It is primarily used in the treatment of various heart conditions, notably atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and sometimes heart failure that cannot be controlled by other medications. Digoxin is approved and widely used in clinical practice today.
Typical pharmacokinetic parameters for adult patients receiving intravenous bolus administration.
