[Treatment of severe digoxin intoxication with antidote digoxin immune Fab.] Ugeskrift for laeger [Ugeskr Laeger] Journal article

In the case of severe digoxin intoxication, an antidote digoxin immune Fab (Digibind) is available. Digibind binds and inactivates digoxin. Measuring se-digoxin after administering Digibind (by standard measuring methods) is misleading as Digibind interferes with digitalis immunoassay measurements. The effect of Digibind must be estimated on the basis of the disappearance of the patient's symptoms and cardiac abnormalities. A case involving Fab therapy of a digoxin-overdosed patient is reported.
