What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Digoxin and ritonavir

Digoxin's FDA label (Lanoxin) of October 17, 2025 names ritonavir in its drug interactions section, and ritonavir's label names digoxin too. The ritonavir label: “Concomitant administration of ritonavir with digoxin may increase digoxin levels. Caution should be exercised when co-administering ritonavir with digoxin, with appropriate monitoring of serum digoxin levels.”
