Exposure limits and toxicity

Occupational exposure limits and toxicity data

Digitoxin applied in eyedrops or ointment in sufficient concentration to reduce intraocular pressure, tends to cause corneal edema and clouding. One neonatal death has been reported, allegedly due to digitoxin overdosage in utero. The widespread use of cardiac glycosides and the very narrow margin between effective therapeutic and toxic dosages contributed to the high incidence of toxicity and the relatively high associated mortality rate. Overdosage of cardiac glycosides is manifested by a wide variety of signs and symptoms that are difficult to distinguish from effects associated with cardiac disease.
