If using Amiodarone 1st: start low dose digoxin ≤ 0.125 mg
If using Digoxin 1st: ↓ Digoxin dose 50%
Monitor
- Symptoms of digoxin toxicity (nausea, anorexia, HR)
- Check for other drugs that ↓HR
- Switch to BB or Non-DHP CCB if digoxin is being used for rate control
Digoxin + Loop Diuretics - ✅✅ -Loops ↓ K, Mg, Ca, and Na
Low K and Mg cause digoxin toxicity
Digoxin is cleared by P-gp and directly excreted by kidneys (renal impairment ↑
digoxin levels and toxicity risk)
, Monitor
- Symptoms of digoxin toxicity (nausea, anorexia, HR)
- Check for other drugs that ↓HR
- Switch to BB or Non-DHP CCB if digoxin is being used for rate control (preferred
over digoxin for rate control)
- Check electrolytes and adjust if low
- Renal impairment: ↓ digoxin dose or frequency or discontinue
Statins + CYP 3A4 strong inhibitors (G <3 PACMAN) - ✅✅-↑ levels of statins that
are CYP 3A4 substrates (Simvastatin, Atorvastatin, Lovastatin - SAL) → ↑risk of
myopathy/rhabdomyolysis
Monitor:
- use lower doses of SAL statins
- recommend statins not metabolized by CYP enzymes (pravastatin, rosuvastatin,
pitavastatin)
- avoid grapefruit juice with CYP 3A4 substrates
- Drugs with specific instructions to avoid grapefruit juice: simvastatin, lovastatin,
nifedipine, and tacrolimus
✅✅
Diltiazem/Verapamil + Other drugs that ↓HR (Amiodarone, Digoxin, BBs,
Dexmedetomidine, Clonidine) - -Additive effect with other drugs that ↓HR
Monitor:
- HR
Common inhibitors that increase substrate drugs drug interactions (6) - ✅✅-- CYP
3A4 inhibitors (PS PORCS) + CYP 3A4 substrates
- Valproate + Lamotrigine
- MAO inhibitors + drugs that ↑ Epi, NE, and DA + drugs that ↑5HT
- MAO inhibitors + Tyramine rich foods
- CYP 2D6 inhibitors + CYP 2D6 substrates
- CYP 3A4 inhibitors & P-gp inhibitors + Calcineurin inhibitors
*Do not use CYP 3A4 inhibitors with opioids metabolized by CYP 3A4 → can be
fatal*
