Anti-Digoxin [Clone DGD46] - 100 μg

Digoxin is a purified cardiac glycoside similar to digitoxin extracted from the foxglove plant, Digitalis lanata. Digoxin is occasionally used in the treatment of various heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and sometimes heart failure that cannot be controlled by other medication. By slowing down the conduction in the AV node and increasing its refractory period, digoxin can reduce the ventricular rate. The arrhythmia itself is not affected, but the pumping function of the heart improves, owing to improved filling.
