Q&A about Digitoxin
What effect would the acidty of orange juice have on digoxin/digitoxin over a few days?
I am a mystery writer trying to figure out if digoxin or digitoxin would be altered in a highly acidic environment like orange juice over the course of several days. I am wokring on a murder premise wherein the killer spikes orange juice with digoxin and I am wondering how long it would be potent.

Is it true that digoxin/digitoxin produces a characteristic ECG rythum?
Hello
On presentation at hospital, patients who have taken digoxin or similar digitalis alkaloids do have a characteristic ECG rhythm.
Many people who try to fake cardiac events for insurance fraud, Munchhausen's etc are discovered by the characteristic 'digitoxin trace'.
Normally, cardiac patients only present with one or two cardiac abnormalities on ECG eexamination, but in patients with digitalis intoxication the features are multiple.
Tell-tale signs include Supreventricular dysrythmia, Aortic valve nodule blockade, ST Depression, and a coarse atrial fibrillation.
Treatment is with Digitoxin specific binding antibodies and refferal.
To the inexperienced Doctor these ECG's can cause utter confusion!!!!

what exactly is a carbohydrate moiety and how is its mode of action related to digitoxin?
A moiety is just a portion of a molecule. Therefore a carbohydrate moiety is just a portion of a carbohydrate molecule...
So the second part of your question doesn't really make sense.
