This drug, digitoxin, used to be available for many years in the US, but now is only available in numerous other countries. In the US it was recently replaced with digoxin. Digoxin is not prescribed to people with kidney issues, while digitoxin appears much safer, especially with a lower dose than was normally given. The lower dose digitoxin appears to work just fine, but this wasn’t known before this study.

Too bad the US got rid of it, but, hey, all you Freepers living outside the US now have a “new” old drug for this form of heart failure (HFrEF).

Not sure why, but reading this makes me want to spend a few minutes lifting weights. Be back later!

Of course, there is some big pharm all giddy adding a few zeros to the cost of flowers.

Foxglove has been known to help with the heart for YEARS.

Sheesh, scientists these days are such egotists, acting as if THEY just made some amazing discovery.

Will ask a friend who is into homeopathic medicine about this.
