"Digitek Defects are Researched"

America’s U.S. Watchdog today announced the launch of their national investigation involving Digitek.

Digitek is a heart medication that was recalled last April and has been the topic of much debate and subject of many lawsuits ever since.

Heart Medication Proves Harmful

Digitek, was manufactured by Actavis Towtoawa, and marketed as a drug that could treat heart problems in patients.

The medication reportedly comes from digitalis, which is a well-known chemical derived from the foxglove plant.

“The defect found in Digitek could expose users to twice the amount of active ingredient, which could cause serious and fatal reactions,” explained the FDA after recalling the medication.

Consumers at Risk

Researchers, along with the FDA, are still issuing warnings to consumers who may still be taking the medication and are unaware of the severe risks found.

The risks found for those consuming Digitek include:

  • Nausea
  • Confusion
  • Low Blood Pressure
  • Heart Palpitations
  • Cardiac Irregularity
