Doses DigiFab in patients with confirmed digoxin poisoning or overdose.
IMPORTANT
This dosing tool is intended to assist with calculation, not to provide comprehensive or definitive drug information. Always double-check dosing of any drug and consult a pharmacist when necessary.
INSTRUCTIONS
Therapeutic range for serum digoxin level is 0.8–2.0 ng/mL (1.0–2.6 nmol/L). If acute poisoning and serum digoxin confirmed >10 ng/mL, give empiric dose (10-20 vials). See Evidence for details.
Additional considerations for treatment of digoxin toxicity include:
- Atropine 0.5 mg IV for acute toxicity if bradydysrhythmias or high degree AV block.
- Cautious correction of electrolyte abnormalities, specifically hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia (may result in dysrhythmias at lower serum digoxin levels).
