Intoxicación por digitálicos - Prevención

Prevención:

Los niveles de digitálicos se deben monitorear con regularidad cuando se está bajo tratamiento con dichos medicamentos. También se debe monitorear la química sanguínea para detectar las condiciones que hacen más común la intoxicación por digitálicos.

Se pueden prescribir suplementos de potasio si se utilizan simultáneamente diuréticos y digitálicos o se puede prescribir un diurético controlador de potasio.
