digitalin
Cardiac glycoside extract
Digitalin is a drug extracted from the foxglove plant, used to treat heart conditions by strengthening and regulating heartbeat.
Like related compounds digitalis and digoxin, it increases the force of cardiac contractions while slowing the heart rate.
The therapeutic dose lies dangerously close to toxic levels, requiring careful monitoring.
