This work was presented in part at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, May 1970, Atlantic City, N. J. Received for publication 16 September 1970 and in revised form 12 August 1971.

Water Intoxication

Interruption of the enterohepatic circulation of digitoxin by cholestyramine. I. Protection against lethal digitoxin intoxication.

It is currently believed that the more prolonged action of nonpolar digitalis glycosides is due to their retention and recycling in the enterohepatic circulation. This report describes studies carrie...
