We have spoken with the families of people who died following ingestion of the defective Digitek pills, and who suffered symptoms consistent with digoxin toxicity before they passed away. We are now reviewing possible lawsuits.

Get information on potential lawsuits related to Digitek double-strength tablets.

A Class I recall was issued by Actavis Totowa LLC on April 25, 2008 for all lots of the heart medicine Digitek (generic name digoxin) 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.

A growing number of families are coming forward to say the death of a loved one was caused by defective Digitek tablets. If you have been harmed by Digitek, please complete the form below for a free legal review of your potential case. A representative of our firm will be in touch shortly.
