In April 2008, drug manufacturer Activis Totowa LLC, issued a mandatory Digitek recall, after discovering that some of the Digitek tablets may have contained a double dose of the active ingredient, digitalis. In response to the Digitek recall, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) immediately posted a safety alert directed to healthcare professionals and patients noting that hundreds of patient injuries had been linked to the defective batch of Digitek.
A Digitek overdose can result in catastrophic injuries and death. Individuals affected by the defective Digitek will qualify to recover compensation from the drug manufacturer by filing a Digitek lawsuit.
The Digitek that was recalled in April 2008 was manufactured by Actavis Totowa, but it was distributed by two companies, and is labeled as follows:
Both of these are in oral tablet form. All strengths/dosages of the tablets were recalled.
Although the heart medication has proven to be an effective treatment for various heart problems, a Digitek overdose can result in serious, potentially fatal Digitek side effects, including:
The recalled Digitek digoxin tablets are especially dangerous to patients with existing kidney problems, because they won’t be able to properly remove the digitalis from the body. This will most likely result in full kidney failure, which can be fatal.
Individuals who have been harmed by a defective Digitek treatment are eligible to recover compensation for their losses. A qualified Digitek lawyer understands the devastation caused by a defective treatment and will fight tirelessly to ensure each client receives the full compensation they need and deserve. Compensation may include:
Individuals who have a family member who died as a result of a Digitek side effect may also be eligible to recover compensation by filing a wrongful death lawsuit on his/her behalf.
If you or someone you love has sustained injuries from a defective Digitek treatment, you are not alone. To date, there have been more than 30 Digitek lawsuits filed on behalf of patients who have suffered from its harmful effects. In addition to individual lawsuits, there have been several Digitek Class Action lawsuits filed on behalf of groups of individuals suffering from similar Digitek symptoms.
