<span>Indigestion can be a
side effect of Mrs. Cherry’s medication for her heart condition specifically
digoxin. The pharmacist may not recommend any pain relievers such as aspirin,
ibuprofen or naproxen sodium because it can worsen her indigestion. She may
purchase antacids to alleviate the symptoms of indigestion and if indigestion
persist, she must visit her doctor for he/she might give another medication for
your heart condition. Therefore, she should consider any drug interaction
between digoxin and indigestion medication. </span>
