Digoxin Question

[SA2BDOCTOR]

I read that we should not administer dgoxin if HR is less than 60 and you should also check the pulse for one full minute. Why is that when..diogoxin is to increase your Heart contracility..why should it matter if HR is low.

I am not making a connection, please advise

One of the few reasons to look at PDR is that it gives good info on when levels should be drawn on patients for specific drugs.
