Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Lanoxin is a medication used to help people with heart problems, such as heart failure or irregular heartbeats like atrial fibrillation. Its main ingredient is Digoxin, which comes from the leaves of a plant called Digitalis lanata. Digoxin helps the heart beat more strongly and keeps the heartbeat steady and regular. Healthcare providers may prescribe Lanoxin to both adults and children who need help with heart function or who have abnormal heart rhythms.

Lanoxin is taken by mouth once a day at about the same time each day. You can take it with food or on an empty stomach. Most adults take between 0.0625 mg and 0.25 mg each day, but the exact amount prescribed depends on things like age, how well the kidneys work, and the condition being treated. Your healthcare provider may change your dose depending on how you react to the medicine and your blood test results. It’s important to follow a healthcare provider’s directions while taking Lanoxin.
Lanoxin contains the active ingredient Digoxin.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Common side effects of Lanoxin tend to occur at higher doses and may include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, or confusion. Some people may also experience abdominal discomfort, fatigue, or mood changes such as anxiety or depression. Skin rashes and breast enlargement (gynecomastia) have been reported, especially with long-term use.
More serious side effects are linked to toxicity and include irregular heart rhythms, severe stomach problems, or mental disturbances like delirium or hallucinations. In clinical trials, about 2% of patients on Lanoxin were hospitalized for suspected toxicity, compared to less than 1% on placebo. Cardiac problems make up about half of all serious side effects, followed by gastrointestinal and central nervous system problems. If you notice symptoms like extreme fatigue, vision changes, or a slow or irregular heartbeat, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
