When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Digoxin slows sinoatrial and AV conduction, prolonging the PR interval. When treated with digoxin, patients with preexisting sinus node disease may develop severe sinus bradycardia or sinoatrial block, and patients with incomplete AV block may progress to advanced or complete heart block. In such patients, consideration should be given to the insertion of a pacemaker prior to initiating treatment with digoxin. Digoxin may be administered to patients with complete, stable AV block who have congestive heart failure, provided the block was not induced by cardiac glycosides.
