Digoxin toxicity

If a patient suspects that they have overdosed on their medication, they should seek urgent medical attention. Patients should also beware of inadvertent overdose of cardiac glycosides, which can result from herbal remedies or plant ingestion, and to consult their physician prior to initiating such regimens. Toxicity can also occur because of drug accumulation (commonly due to renal failure) without the patient having taken an overdose of their prescribed medication.
