Pharmacokinetic interactions have been observed and reported primarily when digoxin is coadministered by oral route. There are very few studies that have evaluated the drug interaction when digoxin is administered via IV route. The magnitude of digoxin exposure change through IV route is generally lower...

lenta as the sole microbe known to carry out the conversion of digoxin to dihydrodigoxin in isolation (Fig. 2a) [48]. The case of digoxin metabolism by E. lenta is especially interesting not only for the clinical relevance of the biotransformation, but because it is one of the few ...
Pharmacokinetic interactions have been observed and reported primarily when digoxin is co-administered by oral route. There are very few studies that have evaluated the drug interaction when digoxin is administered via IV route. The magnitude of digoxin exposure change through IV route is generally low...
Switching from Intravenous Digoxin to Oral Digoxin When switching from intravenous to oral digoxin formulations, make allowances for differences in bioavailability when calculating maintenance dosages (see Table 6). Table 6: Comparison of the Systemic Availability and Equivalent Doses of Oral and Intrave...
