Plasma digoxin concentrations during administration of dietary fibre (guar gum) in man. 1982

B Lembcke, and K Häsler, and P Kramer, and W F Caspary, and W Creutzfeldt

The effect of guar gum on digoxin absorption was investigated in eleven healthy volunteers. The drug was administered in the morning during two five-day-periods, together with a liquid mixed test meal (+/- 18 g guar). By measuring plasma digoxin concentrations no differences were registered between the control and guar gum period. It is concluded that long-term administration of guar gum will not interfere with adequate digitalization (digoxin bioavailability).

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.
