Digoxin side effects
The clinical manifestations may present similarly with the adverse reactions but may be more recurrent and worse
• Because of digoxin's large volume of distribution and molecular weight, extracorporeal removal is not beneficial

For chronic intoxication, a single digoxin level is adequate, provided that it is obtained >6 hours after the last dose
Toxicity causes anorexia, nausea, vomiting and neurological symptoms

Nevertheless, cardiac glycoside toxicity continues to be a problem in the United States because of the wide use of digoxin (a preparation Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise, in hot weather, or by not drinking enough fluids
Asymptomatic patients with an elevated digoxin level is not an indication for starting antibody fragment
It can also trigger fatal arrhythmias

Factors governing drug and chemical removal by dialysis and hemoperfusion are discussed, and guidelines given when to employ these techniques

Misleading subtarget concentrations were repeatedly reported, and falsely guided drug dosing resulted in a case of digoxin intoxication
9% (the incidence of digoxin toxicity in the placebo group), then The incidence of digitalis toxicity has declined in recent years, due to decreased use of this drug along with improved technology for monitoring of drug levels and increased awareness of drug interactions
The most common presentation of digoxin toxicity is due to unintentional overdose or decreased drug clearance due to hepatic or renal dysfunction, as opposed to acute, intentional ingestions [ 2, 6, 12 ]

Most frequently it is used for atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and heart failure

Furthermore, lower potassium levels increases the risk for adverse reactions
Of these, 559 patients suffered moderate or major toxicity and 23 died [ 3 ]
131 patients on maintenance doses of digoxin without toxicity and 48 patients with equivocal evidence of digoxin excess Managing unstable poisoned patients is often associated with clinician cognitive overload

It is the steady state, rather than peak level, that correlates with tissue toxicity and is used to calculate antidote dosages
Administration and Adult Dosage • IV loading dosage 10–15 micro g/kg in divided doses over 12–24 hr at intervals of 6–8 hr
