DETAILS

Description (English)

• Drug Groups: approved
• Description: Cardioactive derivative of lanatoside A or of digitoxin used for fast digitalization in congestive heart failure.
• Indication: Used for fast digitalization in congestive heart failure.
• Pharmacology: The main pharmacological effects of acetyldigitoxin are on the heart. Extracardiac effects are responsible for many of the adverse effects. Its main cardiac effects are 1) a decrease of conduction of electrical impulses through the AV node, making it a commonly used drug in controlling the heart rate during atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, and 2) an increase of force of contraction via inhibition of the Na^+/K^+ ATPase pump.
• Toxicity: Toxicity includes ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, or progressive bradyarrhythmias, or heart block. LD50 = 7.8 mg/kg (orally in mice).
• Affected Organisms: Humans and other mammals
• Absorption: Bioavailability is 60 to 80% following oral administration.
