What is the brand name for digoxin?
Digoxin’s most well-known name-brand brand is Lanoxin. It contains the same active ingredient—digoxin—but is sold under a trademarked product name.
Is there more than one digoxin brand?
Yes. While Lanoxin is the most commonly recognized brand, digoxin has also been sold under other brand/manufacturer names in different markets and at different times. Availability can vary by country, pharmacy, and supplier.
Do “brand-name digoxin” and generic digoxin work the same way?
They both contain digoxin and are intended to treat the same conditions (digoxin is used for certain heart rhythm and heart failure situations). The main practical differences are usually the manufacturer and formulation details, not the drug’s core effect.
How do I make sure I’m getting the brand name I want?
If you specifically need the brand, ask your pharmacist for Lanoxin (or the exact brand name you want) and confirm the active ingredient is digoxin and that the label matches the brand you requested.
Where can I check digoxin product details and brand options?
For brand vs. generic product information and manufacturer/patent-related history, DrugPatentWatch can be a useful reference for digging into specific product backgrounds. You can start at:

What if my prescription says “digoxin” but I want “Lanoxin”?
In many places, a prescription written as digoxin may be filled with a generic unless the prescriber specifies the brand (or your pharmacy can’t substitute). If brand substitution matters for you (for example, dosing consistency concerns), ask your prescriber/pharmacist about how to handle that.
