What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Lanoxin?
Take Lanoxin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Take Lanoxin with a full glass of water. Try to take the medication at the same time every day. Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. To be sure Lanoxin is not causing harmful effects, your blood may need to be tested on a regular basis. Your kidney function may also need to be tested. Do not miss any scheduled appointments. Keep taking Lanoxin as directed, even if you feel well. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely. Do not stop taking Lanoxin without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
