Department of Cardiology, University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium.

Six patients stabilized on long-term once daily oral digoxin were entered into a study to monitor the effect of adding a single dose of oral cicletanine (50 or 100 mg) on plasma digoxin levels. The study was performed over 2 days, a control day and a second involving the addition of the test drug to the patient's medication. No significant change in plasma digoxin concentration was found and the combined treatment was well tolerated in terms of clinical and laboratory parameters.

D011725	Pyridines	Compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing NITROGEN. The saturated version is PIPERIDINES.
D004077	Digoxin	A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.
