Digitalis toxicity
Prevention:
Digitalis levels should be monitored regularly when on digitalis medications. Blood chemistries should also be monitored to detect conditions that make digitalis toxicity more common. Potassium supplements may be prescribed if diuretics and digitalis are used simultaneously, or a "potassium sparing" diuretic may be prescribed.
