How are Glycoside Toxicities Diagnosed and Treated?
Diagnosis of glycoside toxicity is often based on clinical presentation and history of exposure. For cardiac glycoside toxicity, treatment may involve administration of digoxin-specific antibodies. In cases of cyanogenic glycoside poisoning, treatment involves the administration of antidotes like sodium thiosulfate or hydroxocobalamin to detoxify cyanide. Supportive care and symptomatic treatment are crucial for managing toxicity from various glycosides.
