It is used to treat certain heart problems, although much less often than in the It is important to monitor the level of digitalis medicines such as digoxin

8 ng/mL, although others suggest that 1 ng/mL to 2 ng/mL is an appropriate therapeutic range
Shortness of breath
Practitioners involved in monitoring digoxin use need to maintain a high level of suspicion for digoxin toxicity
Approximately 90% adult patients with proven digoxin toxicity have serum digoxin levels greater than 2
The elimination half-life in normal subjects is 37 hours
Ninety percent of nontoxic Serum digoxin levels should be monitored, with a normal therapeutic range from 0
0 mEq/L, and a result less than 3
The assay is unaffected by icterus (bilirubin is less than 66 mg/dL), hemolysis
The accepted range is between 0
