Intoxicación digitálica secundaria al tratamiento con claritromicina

According to the results of our study, 11.5% of patients concurrently receiving digoxin and clarithromycin had serum digoxin concentrations above the therapeutic range because of a likely interaction between these two drugs, with digitalis intoxication ensuing. Thus, we deem it necessary to monitor serum digoxin concentrations in patients receiving clarithtomycin.
