The plants are the types of medicine foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) and the Southern European Digitalis lanata application.
The use of an extract of Digitalis purpurea glycoside in the treatment of heart problems was first described by William Withering. In contemporary medicine, a purer form of digitalis used to treat cardiac arrhythmias.
A group of pharmacologically active substances extracted from the second-year leaves. In pure form the substances identified by chemical names digitoxin and digoxin, or by brand names such as Lanoxin and Purgoxin.
Digitalis is a classic example of a drug derived from a plant that was first used in popular medicine. Given the problems of the proper dosage based on plant leaves to determine the plant no longer in use volksgeneeskunsde. The use of epilepsy is no longer applicable.
Digitalis poisoning resulting from an overdose of Digitalis. The symptoms are a poor eyesight, seeing fuzzy outlines and in severe cases, a dangerously low heart rate (bradycardia). Specifically is that not only inhibit the frequency of impact on the sinus node (the natural pacemaker of the heart) but also an inhibitory effect on the conductive function of the atrioventricular node (AV node, the “torque center conduction between the atria and ventricles). This allows a combined deviation of the heart rhythm occur.
Because loss of appetite often occurs as a side effect, it is also abused as a diet product.
