DIGOXIN AND SALBUTAMOL (ALBUTEROL) AND RELATED BRONCHODILATORS
In one study, oral salbutamol slightly reduced digoxin levels, by 0.3 nanomol/L. Note
that all beta2 agonists (oral and inhaled) can cause a fall in serum potassium levels.
It may be prudent to monitor potassium levels if beta2 agonists are started,
particularly nebulised, oral or intravenous beta2 agonists. If symptoms of digoxin
toxicity occur on concurrent use it may be prudent to recheck potassium levels.
