How does Digoxin work? Digoxin is a drug that can be used to treat atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and heart failure due to the effect it has on the heart. It works to change the rhythm of the heartbeat by increasing the force of the heart muscle, reducing the conductivity of the atrioventricular node and reducing the heart rate.
