Abstract
An 80% survival rate was achieved when sheep which received lethal doses of Urginea sanguinea were treated with activated charcoal at 5 g/kg and potassium chloride at 1 g/kg body mass per os. A brief description of U. sanguinea poisoning and of the mechanism of cardiac glycoside action is given. Clinical examinations, ECG recordings and serum potassium levels were done to monitor developing signs of poisoning.
