DIGOXIN
Digoxin toxicity is common and serious: digoxin levels should be monitored in the elderly, after adding drugs that affect urea clearance including diuretics, particularly spironolactone; verapamil and quinidine also interact significantly with digoxin. Dose should be reduced in renal impairment and in elderly patients. Chronic therapy should be re-evaluated.
