*Suganya Panneerselvam, Dr. Phalguni Padhi and Sharanabassappa Dambal
Abstract Digoxin is mostly used in the management of cardiovascular disorders. It has narrow therapeutic index means that small variations in blood concentration may easily result in toxic or subtherapeutic concentrations. Prescribing digoxin and selecting a specific dose needs to be done carefully. Here we present a case of a neonate who came to our hospital with a history of congestive cardiac defects and developed digoxin toxicity. The serum digoxin levels were 4.5 ng/ml (normal range (0.8-2.0ng/ml) and it can be managed conservatively with close monitoring. Keywords: Congenital heart disease, Digoxin Toxicity, conservative management. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
