digoxin-specific antibody fragments

Digoxin-specific antibody fragments, known as digoxin Fab, are specialized medicines used to treat poisoning from digoxin, a drug that helps manage heart conditions. These antibody fragments are laboratory-made proteins that quickly bind to digoxin molecules in the bloodstream, neutralizing their effect. This helps prevent dangerous symptoms like irregular heartbeat or nerve issues. Once bound, the complex is safely removed from the body through the kidneys. Digoxin Fab is a precise and effective antidote, used when there's an overdose or severe toxicity, ensuring quick recovery and reducing the risk of serious complications.
