Abstract
A case of digoxin poisoning following the co-administration of digoxin and clarithromycin in a 28 year old male is described. Since the aeti ology of chronic digoxin poisoning is often unclear, clinicians should be aware of the potential drug-drug interaction between digoxin and c larithromycin.
