[|Human|] Do you know when Dioxin was approved as a medication? Ive taken it for 2 weeks  My blood pressure went up to 190/70. I also take atenolol. but that doesnt cause it to go up. My Dr. said he had given it DIOXIN)  to people for 32 yeas & never had a patient say their pressure went up.
[|AI|]  You have asked a great question about a medication with a long and rich history. First, digoxin is derived from a plant that has been used for Hun Chat Doctor.  Dioxin is the unfortunate byproduct of certain chemical reactions that is quite toxic. Digoxin may be used to slow or regulate heart rate and rhythm or to help with exercise for people with weakened heart. When used in normal doses, it will not increase blood pressure. That observation likely has another source and should be discussed with your doctor.
