POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology:
The dose of digoxin for each patient has to be tailored individually
according to age, lean body
weight and renal function.
Suggested doses are intended only as an initial guide.
In cases where cardiac glycosides have been taken in the preceding two
weeks the
recommendations for initial dosing of a patient should be reconsidered
and a reduced dose is
advised.
The difference in bioavailability between injectable digoxin and oral
formulations must be
considered when changing from one dosage form to another. For
exampleif patients are switched
from oral to the I.V. formulation the dosage should be reduced by
approximately 33%.
Adults and paediatric populations over 10 years
_Rapid oral loading: _
If medically appropriate, rapid digitalisation may be achieved in a
number of ways, such as 750 to
1500 micrograms (0.75 to 1.5 mg) as a single dose.
Where there is less urgency, or greater risk of toxicity e.g. in the
elderly, the oral loading dose
should be given in divided doses six hours apart, with approximately
half the total dose given as the
first dose.
Clinical response should be assessed before giving each additional
dose (see section 4.4).
_Slow oral loading: _
In some patients, for example those with mild heart failure,
digitalisation may be achieved more
slowly with doses of 250 to 750 micrograms (0.25 to 0.75 mg) daily for
one week followed by an
appropriate maintenance dose. A clinical response should be seen
within one week.
The choice between slow and rapid oral loading depends on the cl
