BENEFITS OF LANOXIN TABLET
Heart failure – a type of cardiovascular disease affecting the heart. Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. Heart failure is caused by one or more diseases of your heart valves, and by damage to the heart muscle itself, which can be caused by heart attacks, high blood pressure, abnormal heartbeat rhythms (arrhythmias) and certain other conditions.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced naturally in the kidneys by erythrocytes. It controls erythropoesis and thus hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis, which in turn ensures sufficient oxygen supply to body tissues. The main side effect of rhEPO therapy is polycythemia, leading to an increase in hematocrit levels.
Lanoxin tablet is a quaternary ammonium anticholinergic agent that helps in slowing down your heart rate, while it also blocks the action of certain chemicals that affect heart rhythm. This drug is prescribed for people with certain type of arrhythmias. These include atrial fibrillation, flutter, paroxysmal tachycardia and ventricular premature beats.
