Digoxin in salvia and blood serum of 24 patients obtained Bemecor was determined by the method of FPIA (IMx-ABBOT). Mixed saliva was collected by three different types of Salivette (Sarstedt) given in order: normal Salivette with cotton wool swab, Slivette with polyester wool and Salivette with citric acid as a stimulator. It was found, that the correletio between the digoxin concentrations in saliva and serum and saliva/serum rations depended on the type of Salivette. The highest correlation was obtained with the Salivette with polyester wool (r = 0.892), but low concentrations of this drug in serum were good reflected in all samples of saliva, independent on kind of Salivette.
