For comparison, those with a V d L/kg body weight of less than 0.2 are mainly distributed in blood plasma, 0.2-0.7 mostly in the extracellular fluid and those with more than 0.7 are distributed throughout total body water.
Digoxin may be prescribed for a child to treat heart defects. Possible side effects in children are: dysrhythmia, nausea, vomiting, a slower-than-normal heart rate and anorexia. [4] Children may demonstrate side effects if they are breastfed. Digoxin is also absorbed by the infant in utero. [5]
Acid–base and blood gases are among the few blood constituents that exhibit substantial difference between arterial and venous values. [6] Still, pH, bicarbonate and base excess show a high level of inter-method reliability between arterial and venous tests, so arterial and venous values are roughly equivalent for these. [44]
Digoxin increased the risk of death in women by 23%. There was no difference in the death rate for men in the study. [38] Digoxin is also used as a standard control substance to test for P-glycoprotein inhibition. [39] Digoxin appears to be a peripherally selective drug due to limited brain uptake caused by binding to P-glycoprotein. [40] [41]
Digoxin is a medication used for heart failure or atrial fibrillation. [3] An electrocardiogram is a routine part of diagnosis. [2] Blood levels are only useful more than six hours following the last dose. [1] Activated charcoal may be used if it can be given within two hours of the person taking the medication. [1]

Digoxin toxicity can emerge during long-term therapy as well as after an overdose. It can occur even when the serum digoxin concentration is within the therapeutic range when one of the following is present: [4] [5] Hemodynamically unstable arrhythmia; End organ damage; digoxin level > 4 ng/ml if chronic ingestion
