Digitek Recall Lawsuits

Manufactured by Actavis Towtowa, Digitek is prescribed for congestive heart failure and cardiac arrest caused by ventricular tachycardia. Digitek creates a stronger heartbeat by increasing the amount of calcium in the heart’s cells. However, in April 2008, Digitek was recalled due to a manufacturing defect.

The FDA announced that the defective Digitek could expose a patient to double the amount of the active ingredient which could lead to life-threatening reactions. Taking a double-strength Digitek tablet could lead to digitalis toxicity in patients with kidney problems. Digitalis toxicity can lead to low blood pressure, irregular pulse, bradycardia, appetite loss, vomiting, diarrhea and heart palpitations. Patients suffering from digitalis toxicity may also experience vision changes, trouble breathing, and decreased consciousness. In severe cases, it can lead to death.
