CompositionDixin Paed Oral Solution is used in children to treat heart failure and certain irregular heart rhythms. It helps the heart beat more strongly and steadily, which improves the flow of blood around the body.
It contains digoxin, which strengthens the heartbeat and helps control the heart rate. Give it exactly as prescribed, using the measuring device provided, as the right dose is important with this medicine. Do not stop giving it without medical advice.
Some measures support treatment. Keep to regular check-ups so the doctor can monitor your child's heart and, when needed, the level of the medicine and kidney function through blood tests.
Because the safe and effective range for this medicine is narrow, tell your child's doctor straight away if your child has vision changes, an irregular or very slow heartbeat, or persistent vomiting, as these can be signs the dose needs review.
