    Amiodarone significantly increases digoxin plasma levels and red blood cell content in patients. This drug interaction, however, does not appear to displace digoxin from tissues, with clinical significance remaining unclear.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Drug Interactions

    Context:

    • Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used to treat heart failure and arrhythmias.
    • Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic drug with a complex pharmacology.
    • Interactions between amiodarone and digoxin can alter digoxin pharmacokinetics.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the effect of amiodarone on digoxin plasma levels and tissue distribution.
    • To compare digoxin pharmacokinetics in patients treated with digoxin alone versus digoxin plus amiodarone.

    Summary:

    • 39 patients on fixed-dose digoxin and amiodarone were compared to controls on digoxin alone.
    • Digoxin plasma levels and erythrocytic content were significantly higher in the amiodarone group.
    • The relationship between plasma levels and red blood cell-bound digoxin was similar, suggesting amiodarone does not displace digoxin from tissues.

    Impact:

    • Confirms a significant pharmacokinetic interaction between amiodarone and digoxin.
    • Suggests amiodarone increases digoxin levels without altering tissue distribution.
    • The clinical implications of this digoxin-amiodarone interaction require further investigation.
