What is the Treatment for Cardiac Glycoside Toxicity?
Management of cardiac glycoside toxicity involves supportive care, correction of electrolyte imbalances, and specific antidotal therapy. Activated charcoal may be administered if ingestion was recent. The antidote for cardiac glycoside toxicity is digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Digibind or DigiFab), which bind the glycoside and prevent it from interacting with its target. Monitoring and managing arrhythmias are critical components of treatment.
