Watch out for
- Digoxin has a narrow safety margin. Real licorice (glycyrrhizin) can deplete potassium, and low potassium makes digoxin substantially more toxic at the same blood level. Hawthorn can add to digoxin's effects on the heart, while St. Johns Wort induces the transporter that clears digoxin — lowering blood levels by about 25% in studies, so the medication may not work as intended. None of these belong alongside digoxin without the prescriber's involvement and blood-level and electrolyte monitoring. Seek care promptly for nausea, vision changes, confusion, or an irregular heartbeat.
