Digitek (also known as Digoxin) is a heart medication used to treat heart failure, and abnormal heart rhythms like atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. The drug is manufactured by Actavis Totowa, and is distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and UDL laboratories, Inc., under a “Bertek” and “UDL” label.

Digitek Recall

On April 25, 2008, a nationwide Digitek recall was issued for all lots of the medication because of a manufacturing defect. The defective Digitek tablets contained TWICE as much of the active ingredient that is recommended, which results in digitalis toxicity. Patients should receive a recall notice from their pharmacist or from the manufacturer.

Digitalis toxicity is very serious and can result in heart failure and even death. Please note that Digitek users who suffer from renal failure or who take diuretics are at an even greater risk.

Digitek Side Effects

Digitalis toxicity or overdose can occur from a single exposure or chronic overmedication of digitalis. The patients who have taken the double dose Digitek tables have had serious health repercussions, and many have died from the toxic levels in their system. How do you know if you have taken a defective tablet?
