How frequently this effect occurs is not known; whether these changes are preventable through diet or supplementation is also unknown.
The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence. -

Digitalis
Digitalis (Digitalis lanata, Digitalis purpurea) refers to a family of plants (commonly called foxglove) that contain digitalis glycosides, chemicals with actions and toxicities similar to the prescription drug digoxin .
In a small study of salbutamol (albuterol) in people receiving digoxin, albuterol was associated with decreased serum digoxin levels. No interactions between albuterol and digitalis have been reported. Until more is known, albuterol and digitalis-containing products should be used only under the direct supervision of a doctor trained in their use.
The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
