I have consulted a surgeon and he says Lanoxin is implicated. He suggested I discontinue the Lanoxin. I made an appointment with my cardiologist and he says this syndrome is very rare, but has taken me off the Lanoxin. I was on the Lanoxin for an irregular heartbeat. I would appreciate any information on this matter.
Digoxin has a similar ring structure to estrogen.
I have been taking this dosage for more than 5 years. I believe that I also have mild gynecomastia and have recently discovered that this is a Lanoxin side effect. I am a teenager and usally this condition would just be attributed to fluctating hormone levels, but it has been present for 5 years. What I am wondering is whether or not this will disappear after treatment with Lanoxin is discontinued. Digoxin is a known cause of gynecomastia .
