Which drug will be administered to a patient being admitted with severe digoxin intoxication?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Digoxin immune Fab (Digibind) is a specific antidote for digoxin toxicity and is the recommended treatment for severe intoxication. Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication and spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, neither of which are appropriate for treating digoxin toxicity. Digitalis glycosides is another term for digoxin, so administering more of the same drug would exacerbate the toxicity.
