title: Interaction study of fenoldopam--digoxin in congestive heart failure.
abstract: The potential interaction between fenoldopam, a DA1 selective agonist, and digoxin has been studied in 10 patients with heart failure (NYHA Class II or III) on chronic digoxin treatment. Plasma levels and urinary recovery of the glycoside were monitored for 24 h before and after 9 days of treatment with fenoldopam 100 mg tid. Fenoldopam caused a small, non-significant decrease in the mean steady state plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration curve of digoxin. As the clearance of digoxin was unchanged there does not appear to be an interaction between fenoldopam and digoxin at the level of the renal tubule.
