Digitek Lawsuits
Digitek (digoxin), distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., is a drug used to help the heart beat more strongly. It is used to treat conditions such as congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (abnormal heart rhythms).
The FDA sent out a press release on April 25, 2008 stating that Actavis Totowa LLC, a United States manufacturing division of the international generic pharmaceutical company Actavis Group, was initiating a Class I nationwide recall of Digitek (digoxin tablets, USP, all strengths) for oral use. The products are distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., under a "Bertek" label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under a "UDL" label.
Recalled Medications Include:
- Digitek
- Digoxin
- Cardoxin
- Lanoxin
- Lanoxicaps
The voluntary all lot recall is due to the possibility that tablets with double the appropriate thickness may have been commercially released. These tablets may contain two times the approved level of active ingredient than it appropriate.
Digitek is used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. The existence of double strength tablets poses a risk of digitalis toxicity in patients with renal failure.
Digitalis toxicity can cause;
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Dizziness
- Low Blood Pressure
- Cardiac Instability
- Bradycardia
- Death
The FDA has received many reports of serious illnesses and injuries regarding digitalis toxicity.
