Metoprolol can be used if bisoprolol is not available as bith are beta blockers.

Interactions- digoxin is not given with beta blockers as additive depressent effect on sa and av nodes can precipitate av block. Thiazides like indapamide cause hypokalemia so it potentiates digoxin toxicity.

Aspirin by inhibihing prostaglandin synthesis leads to sodium and water retention so decrease efficacy of antihypertensive and thiazides.

Antidotes-Digibind is digoxin antibodies used in severe case of digoxin toxicity. Potassium chloride is also used.

Counselling- patient should take drugs after food for slow absorption.
