Abstract

A 76-year-old women presented with digoxin toxicity four days after starting a course of roxithromycin. In 10%-15% of the population, digoxin is degraded extensively by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, and antibiotic-induced changes in the bacterial flora may lead to digoxin toxicity.
