Is myopathy a side effect of DIGOXIN ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of DIGOXIN patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 49 individuals taking DIGOXIN reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 36894 DIGOXIN drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between DIGOXIN and myopathy. In doing so, we compare DIGOXIN with other drugs that cause myopathy, to help you evaluate whether or not DIGOXIN causes myopathy. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of DIGOXIN, so you can see if myopathy ranks among DIGOXIN's most well-known side effects.

Summary Statistics

QUESTION CONGESTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY	to me and envision his life with his new wife and ceildrhn. My dreams are filled with me trying to talk to him and convince him to come back; I usually wake up crying. To complicate things even more, he is a doctor therefore I am fearful of going to one to get help...even a referral to a phychologist. I stumbled on your blog today and was wondering what your thoughts are on PTSD. It seems like it affects people that had a significant trauma such as a life threatening situation...I guess I feel like the break up was a life threatening situation because it did almost kill me. I really have no one to talk to about this because it has been so long since the relationship ended, I know many people would say "you need to move on with your life" or "quit dwelling on the past". Few people would really understand. If you don't think I suffer from PTSD, which does seem like an exaggeration, why is this pain reoccuring, almost like it was yesterday? Is there help for me?	2015-07-13 18:11:58

QUESTION MEDIASTINAL FIBROSIS	Do you think that pharmaceutical chemical inventors, prescribers, manufacturers, etc. can possibly be relieved of their horrible Karma because their company paid out a class action lawsuit? Or do you think that those people will be unlucky and live with horrible guilt? Do you think a superhero should gather them up and Shepherd them to hell, or something like hell?
