D
Dosages (Digitalis) — Prescription only (JAD).
Contraindications, Indications, and Side Effects (Digitalis) — Class 3 (AHP). Inappropriate for
obesity treatment (AHP). One source reports it is classified as a drug, which must normally be
registered as pharmaceutical specialty (AEH). Why repeat; use with arrhythmogenic drugs (meth-
ylxanthines, phosphodiesterase inhibitors (including, I suppose, Viagra™), quinidine, sympatho-
mimetics) increases risk of arrhythmia (PH2). Long-term dosage is potentially gynecomastic.
Overdoses may cause anorexia, confusion, depressions, diarrhea, gastric hypertonia, hallucinogens,
headache, psychosis, stupor, tachycardia, and vomiting. Lethal doses induce asphyxiation or heart
failure (PH2). Both the leaf and pure glycosides are contraindicated in carotid sinus syndrome, first
and second degree AV-block, hypercalcemia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypokalemia, thoracic
aortic aneurism, ventricular tachycardia, or WPW syndrome (PH2).DILL (Anethum graveolens L.) ++Synonyms — A. sowa Roxb. ex Fleming, Peucedanum graveolens (L.) Benth. & Hook f.
