1 A study was carried out to find out if digoxin and acipimox interact.

2 Six elderly patients on digoxin were each given acipimox 150 mg three daily for a week, after informed consent. Digoxin and acipimox plasma concentrations and urinary excretion were measured after the first dose of acipimox and after a week of treatment.

3 Data were fitted to a one-compartment oral absorption model. Areas under the plasma concentration-time curve, plasma and renal clearances, and elimination half-life were computed.

4 There was no significant difference in digoxin plasma concentrations and kinetic parameters before and after acipimox administration. Acipimox kinetics were not affected by the concomitant ingestion of digoxin.

5 The patients' clinical condition remained stable during the study.

6 Thus there was no evidence for an adverse interaction between digoxin and acipimox in human subjects under the conditions of this study.
