Urgent Digitek Digoxin Recall

April 28, 2008 - A class I recall is being issued on Digitek (digoxin) tablets, which may contain twice the approved level of digoxin. The existence of double-strength pills pose a risk of digitalis toxicity, which can result in nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, cardiac instability, bradycardia and even death.

Digitek is a registered trademark of Actavis Totowa (formerly Amide Pharmaceutical, Inc.) for their digoxin tablets, which are prescribed to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. The drug is distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., under a "Bertek" label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under a "UDL" label.

Patients taking Digitek should contact their physician immediately for medical advice. Retailers who carry Digitek should return the product to the place of purchase. Overdosing on this drug can be very dangerous. In fact, it digoxin was used in a series of murders in the 1980's and 90's that were committed by a male nurse who claimed to have killed the patients to "end their suffering." For more information call 877-844-3760 or email us today.
