Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer taking Digitek cases

All lots of Digitek heart drug recalled due to risk of double-strength tablets

All lots of the heart drug Digitek (generic name digoxin) have been recalled because some have been found to contain twice the approved levels of active ingredient than is appropriate.

Unfortunately, this recall comes too late for the families whose loved ones ingested the potentially deadly dose.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, several reports of illnesses and injuries have been received.

Digitek is used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. The existence of double strength tablets poses a risk of digoxin toxicity in patients with renal failure.

Digoxin toxicity can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, cardiac instability and bradycardia. Death can also result from excessive intake of digoxin.

Patients taking Digitek should contact their physician immediately for medical advice.
