Digitek Recall - Digoxin Toxicity

The FDA has accounced a Class I nationwide recall Digitek (digoxin tablets) recall due to defects and inconsistencies in the drugs production. It is alleged that Actavis Totowa LLC produced pills that contained double the normal dosage of the prescription.

Digitek is used to treat heart related illnesses and problems such as failure or arrhythmia. The systematic overdosage of this drug can lead to a complication referred to as Digitalis toxicity. Digitalis toxicity can lead to cardiac problems such as heart attack, stroke, and arrhythmia as well as kidney failure, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness and death.

The Food & Drug Administration has received many cases already of confirmed digitalis toxicity in individuals taking Digitek prescriptions. More than a dozen cases have already required hospitalization and medical attention.
