What is the treatment for Nerium oleander poisoning?
Treatment of Nerium oleander poisoning is largely supportive. In cases of recent ingestion, activated charcoal may be administered to prevent further absorption of the toxin. Continuous monitoring of cardiac function is crucial, and symptomatic treatment of arrhythmias may involve atropine for bradycardia or other antiarrhythmic drugs as necessary. In severe cases, digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Digibind) may be used to neutralize the effects of the cardiac glycosides.
