Interaction Details

Digoxin is classified as belonging to the following category: Digoxin (Lanoxin)

It has been suggested that taking apple cider vinegar and digoxin at the same time may increase the likelihood of cardiac toxicity. One case report reported an instance of low potassium levels caused by long-term use of apple cider vinegar has been recorded. Excessive consumption of apple cider vinegar could potentially lead to a drop in potassium levels, heightening the danger of toxicity when taking digoxin.

Pharmacist Analysis

The supposed interaction between apple cider vinegar and digoxin, which is commonly mentioned in various online sources, is largely based on a single, isolated case documented in a 1998 issue of the journal Nephron.

The case involved a 28-year-old woman who consumed 250 ml of cider vinegar daily for a period of six years, leading to adverse health effects such as muscle cramps and hypokalemia.

The root cause of her symptoms was identified as excessive intake of acetic acid and its effect on renal excretion of bicarbonate, sodium, and potassium, causing depletion of arterial blood volume and mild hypokalemia.

It's important to note that this was an unusual situation where the individual consumed amounts of ACV far beyond normal levels and the information is only derived from a single case report, which is among the lowest level of evidence in medical literature. Case reports typically describe the experience of a single individual, and while they can provide valuable information about unusual or rare conditions, they cannot be used to establish cause-and-effect relationships or to make generalizations about a population.

Further research is required to validate the findings.
