Other Significations For Celoxin 500mg2ml Inj
This Medication Digoxin increases the strength and vigor of heart contractions and is useful in the treatment of heart failure It is extracted from the leaves of a plant called digitalis lanata Digoxin increases the force of contraction of the muscle of the heart by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme ATPase that controls movement of calcium sodium andpotassium into heart muscle Calcium controls the force of contraction Inhibiting ATPase increases calcium in heart muscle and therefore increases the force of heart contractions Digoxin also slows electrical conduction between the atria and the ventricles of the heart and is useful in treating abnormally rapid atrial rhythms such as atrial fibrillation atrial flutter and atrial tachycardia Abnormally rapid atrial rhythms can be caused by heart attacks excessive thyroid hormones alcoholism infections and many other conditions During rapid atrial rhythms electrical signals from the atria cause rapid contractions of the ventricles Rapid ventricular contractions are inefficient in pumping blood containing oxygen and nutrients to the body causing symptoms of weakness shortness of breath dizziness and even chest pain Digoxin alleviates these symptoms by blocking the electrical conduction between the atria and ventricles thus slowing ventricular contractions
