Abstract
The effects of maintenance indomethacin therapy on single dose digoxin pharmacokinetics and dynamics were studied in six healthy volunteers with normal renal function. Indomethacin did not alter the elimination half-life, systemic clearance or distribution of digoxin. No pharmacodynamic interaction as assessed by changes in the systolic time intervals QA2 and LVET was found. This study does not lend support for a significant digoxin-indomethacin interaction in man.
