The effect of guar gum on digoxin absorption was investigated in eleven healthy volunteers. The drug was administered in the morning during two five-day-periods, together with a liquid mixed test meal (+/- 18 g guar). By measuring plasma digoxin concentrations no differences were registered between the control and guar gum period. It is concluded that long-term administration of guar gum will not interfere with adequate digitalization (digoxin bioavailability).
