The Cardiac Glycosides (Cardenolides) - the Digitalis Preparations

Drug Members :

Digitoxin (Crystodigin)
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Deslanoside (Cedilanid-D)
Natural plant analogs of today’s modern glycoside preparations have been used for at least 3,000 years. Cardiac glycosides were used for heart conditions by the Egyptians, Romans and the early Europeans. The cardiac glycosides are commonly found in plants such as Milkweed, Lilly of the Valley, the Oleander plant, and in the Foxglove plant. This is a very good reason to preserve the earth’s rain forests because of the very real chance they hold plants that will one day cure diseases.

nu, digitalis este planta, în medicină se folosesc preparatele obţinute din extract, nu planta ca atare. Termenul consacrat este digitalis preparation/preparation of digitalis, ca dealtfel şi referinţa citată. Mulţumesc :)
