A 79-year 65 kg male called the ambulance service 4 h after ingestion of 100 tablets of digoxin 0.1 mg complaining of nausea and vomiting. The ECG showed an idioventricular escape rhythm with a heart rate of 30/min. After 0.5 mg atropine, heart rate increased to 80/min. Soon after admission to the
BACKGROUND
Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that is frequently prescribed in atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Symptoms such as nausea, hyperkalaemia, cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac arrest are seen in digoxin toxicity. The treatment focuses on reduction of digoxin absorption, prevention of
Digitalis glycosides are among the oldest drugs used in cardiology. Nowadays, due to the limited indications for their use (advanced heart failure, usually concomitant with atrial fibrillation), cases of poisoning induced by this class of drugs are rarely observed. Digoxin produces a positive
A clinical investigation was carried out in 13 patients in order to answer the question of a possible interaction between amiodarone (A) and digoxin (D) and to study the extent to which plasma digoxin levels (PDL) may be influenced by A. Combined therapy with A + D was instituted in patients with
We have treated with intravenous iloprost twelve patients suffering from cardiac insufficiency compensated under oral digoxin (NYHA class II) associated with severe limb ischaemia due to arterial insufficiency. Our aim was to study its possible interaction on digoxin levels and to evaluate the
BACKGROUND
Digoxin is commonly used to facilitate second-trimester surgical abortion despite limited data regarding its safety and effectiveness for this indication. We conducted a pilot study to determine the incidence of side effects after digoxin administration and whether effectiveness can be

A 27 year old female with a complex history of congenital heart disease, cardiac surgery, heart failure, and arrhythmias was admitted for a Pseudomonas aeruginosa sternal wound infection and treated with intravenous antibiotics. After discharge and completion of an outpatient course of
Aprepitant is a highly selective neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist that, in combination with a corticosteroid and a 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5HT3) receptor antagonist, has been shown to be efficacious in the prevention of highly emetogenic chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. In vitro data suggest
The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of co-administration of flosequinan (BTS 49465, CAS 76568-02-0) and digoxin (CAS 20830-75-5) were investigated in 12 healthy volunteers. A 4-day, open, lead-in phase established the pharmacokinetics of flosequinan (100 mg on the first day and 50 mg for
An 88-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of palpitations, dyspnea, orthopnea and appetite loss. On admission, small crackles were heard on her lower back, and her liver was swollen. Chest rentogenogram showed cardiomegaly (cardio-thoracic ratio 65.5%) and bilateral pleural effusion.
The serum digoxin concentration increased in 25 of 27 study patients (93%), and the mean serum digoxin concentration rose from 1.4 ng/ml to 3.2 ng/ml during quinidine therapy. Anorexia, nausea, or vomiting developed in 16 patients (59%) but disappeared in all ten patients for whom the digoxin dose
The authors report about a patient who was admitted after developing nausea, vomiting, change in vision and lethargy. She was on digoxin 250 mcg once daily among all her other medications in the wake of a recent stroke that was accompanied by atrial fibrillation (AF). Her digitalis levels shortly
