Digoxin is a medication commonly used to treat heart conditions such as congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It belongs to a class of drugs called cardiac glycosides, which work by increasing the strength and efficiency of the heart muscle. Digoxin helps to regulate the heart rate and improve the heart's pumping ability, thereby reducing symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue. It is usually taken orally and requires regular monitoring of blood levels to ensure proper dosage.
