    Digoxin absorption in alcoholic solution was evaluated. Patients with congestive heart failure showed more efficient digoxin absorption compared to healthy individuals, despite similar distribution kinetics.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Cardiology
    • Drug Absorption

    Background:

    • Digoxin is a crucial medication for managing congestive heart failure.
    • Understanding digoxin absorption is vital for optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
    • Alcoholic solutions may influence drug bioavailability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the absorption of digoxin administered in an alcoholic solution.
    • To compare digoxin absorption in healthy subjects versus patients with congestive heart failure.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum digoxin concentrations were measured over time in both groups.
    • Distribution kinetics parameters were analyzed.
    • Areas under the serum concentration curve (AUC) were calculated.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences were observed in the distribution kinetics parameters between groups.
    • Patients with congestive heart failure exhibited significantly larger areas under the serum concentration curve (AUC).
    • This indicates a more efficient absorption of digoxin in the alcoholic solution for heart failure patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Congestive heart failure patients demonstrate enhanced absorption of digoxin from alcoholic solutions.
    • The findings suggest potential implications for digoxin dosing and formulation in this patient population.
