A genus of plants of the family Schrophulariaceae, including the foxglove.
The dried leaves of the purple foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), formerly used in heart disease, disturbance of the circulation, etc. Its use has been largely replaced by that of the pure active ingredient, digitalin. See digitalin.
a powerful cardiac stimulant obtained from foxglove
any of several plants of the genus Digitalis
A plant-based drug used to treat heart failure and certain abnormalities of the heart rhythm.
(Digoxin)- A medicine that slows heart rate, strengthens contractions, and helps move fluid away from the body tissues.
Powdered form of the dried leaves of the plant Digitalis purpurea that acts to increase cardiac output by increasing the contractility of cardiac muscle.
A drug that strengthens the contraction of the heart muscle, slows the rate of contraction of the heart and thus promotes the elimination of fluid from body tissues when heart failure is present. It is also used in treating certain heart rhythm abnormalities.
a medication that increases the force of the heartâ€(tm)s contractions to relieve heart failure symptoms. Slows certain types of arrhythmia.
A drug derived from the foxglove plant and used in the treatment of heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. Digitalis works by strengthening the pumping action of the heart, thereby improving blood circulation, or by slowing sown some of the electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles. The most commonly used form of this drug is digoxin.
A drug made from the leaves of the foxglove plant. Digitalis is used to treat congestive heart failure (CHF) and heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). Digitalis can increase blood flow throughout the body and reduce swelling in the hands and ankles.
A drug used to increase the force of the heart's contraction and to regulate specific irregularities of heart rhythm.
Medication used to improve heart function.
A drug that regulates the rate and strength of the heartbeat (digoxin, digitoxin)
A medication that increases the force of heart contraction and slows down the heart rate. It is a calcium blocker that slows the outflow of intracellular calcium during contractions.
