The flower that produces the medical drug digoxin is called Digitalis, or better known as foxglove. They vary in colour from purple, pink, yellow and white depending on the exact species of foxglove.
The recommended treatment for digitalis toxicity is to stop taking digitalis medication, provide supportive care, and possibly administer medications to help manage symptoms. In severe cases, treatments such as activated charcoal or digoxin-specific antibody fragments may be used. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if digitalis toxicity is suspected.

Foxglove flowers and plants tend to live in the rain forest biomes. These biomes are found in much of South America and Central America.
