IV. Digoxin loading dose IV: 500mcg; followed by 250mcg 6 hours later and a further 250mcg 6 hours after that.PO. Digoxin loading oral: 500-750mcg 2 doses 6 hours apart (max 1500mcg in 24 hours)

Do you need to dilute digoxin?

Digoxin Injection can be administered undiluted or diluted with a 4-fold or greater volume of Sterile Water for Injection, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, or 5% Dextrose Injection. The use of less than a 4-fold volume of diluent could lead to precipitation of the digoxin.

What should be done before administering digoxin?

Check your pulse before you take your digoxin. If your pulse is under 60 beats per minute, wait 5 minutes. Then check your pulse again. If it’s still under 60, call your healthcare provider.
