Digoxin overdose from a single ingestion
Number of tablets ingested:
Strength of tablets:
0.1mg or 0.125mg
0.2 or 0.25mg
Number of vials needed:
vials
=
mg =
ml (assuming each vial is diluted with 4ml)
Calculation:
# of vials = total digoxin load/0.5mg digoxin per vial
0.125 and 0.25mg have 80% bioavailability
0.1 and 0.2mg have 100% bioavailability
0.1 and 0.125mg tablets count for 0.1mg of total digoxin load
0.2 and 0.25mg tablets count for 0.2mg of total digoxin load
