Drug Interactions

Question 16 • VA_Pharmacology_A

What is one reason for drug-drug interactions with digoxin?

Answer
A
Digoxin acts on the cardiovascular system.
B
Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic range.
C
Digoxin is taken with tyramine-containing foods.
D
Digoxin can irritate a patient’s allergies.

Explanation

Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic range, meaning the difference between an effective dose and a harmful dose is small. Other drugs can change digoxin’s concentration or effects, increasing the risk of toxicity, so interactions require careful monitoring. The cardiovascular effects in choice A do not by themselves explain why interactions are a concern.
