About Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet

Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called cardiac glycosides used to treat irregular heartbeats and manage the symptoms of heart failure. Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood as effectively as it should. Irregular heartbeat is a condition in which your heart beats irregularly, too fast or too slow.

Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet contains digoxin, i.e. cardiac glycosides that help to increase the output force of the heart and reduces the rate of heart contractions. Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet works on the heart muscle directly and increases the force with which heart muscle contracts with each heartbeat. Thereby, it makes heart efficient in pumping blood around the body and slows down the rate at which heartbeats.

Take Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet based on your medical condition. Some people may experience common side effects like diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, abnormal heartbeat or skin rash.

Regular blood tests are recommended by your doctor while taking Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet to monitor the amount of Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet in the bloodstream as its toxicity can lead to several forms of heart rhythm disturbances, vomiting, nausea and visual disturbances. If you have beriberi disease caused due to vitamin B1 deficiency, malabsorption syndrome (unable to absorb minerals from food) or any lung or kidney disease, please inform your doctor before taking Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet so that the dose may be adjusted or an alternate medicine may be prescribed accordingly. Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet has a very narrow therapeutic index. It means small differences in dose of drugs in the body may lead to life-threatening conditions or serious side effects. This makes its use limited and requires close monitoring by doctors like regular electrocardiogram (ECG). So, try not to self-medicate and suggest Canrythm 0.25mg Tablet to others.
