AB  - Digitalis toxicity is a frequently encountered clinical problem. Drug interactions leading to digitalis toxicity are very common. Within this group, the interaction of digitalis and verapamil is increasingly recognized as an important cause of digitalis toxicity. The use of digoxin-binding antibodies represents a significant advance in the treatment of this problem and can be lifesaving in the setting of massive overdose. A case report of digitalis toxicity and a review of this problem and its treatment are presented. (J Am Bd Fam Pract 1989; 2:49-54.)
