i don't have toxin for shotguns so i can't test for sure, but yes it's possible by just adding the toxin mod. remember, the game dosn't view combined elements as 2 different elements combined (toxin+ice=viral) it views it as it's own separate element. so when dealing with a weapon that deals combination properties as it's base damage, like the phage, no elemental damages that you add go into the combined damage unless you put an ice and toxin mod on to create more viral damage, in which case it will "add" more viral damage based on the base damage.

short answer: yes. (unless i'm wrong of course, like i said no toxic mod)
