Defective drug Digitek can spur Digitek lawsuit

Digitek, a drug designed to help heart patients, instead may be killing them. In 2008 the drug was recalled due to a manufacturing error which led to some Digitek pills featuring digoxin being twice as thick and having twice as much medication as needed. This overdose can cause patients with kidney problems or renal failure to suffer from Digitek toxicity.

In the event that you or a loved one has suffered via a defective dose of Digitek medication, consult with an experienced Digitek attorney promptly to determine your best course of action, which may involve a Digitek lawsuit. Such a Digitek attorney or lawyer can help you determine who was responsible for your Digitek injury and can seek full financial compensation for your loss, in terms of medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Digitek digoxin toxicity symptoms vary

Persons who are suffering from Digitek digoxin toxicity may experience a variety of symptoms. These include low blood pressure, seizures, heart palpitations, organ failure, dizziness, urination or bladder problems, dizziness, nausea and bradycardia, or slowed heart rate. Digitek digoxin toxicity also can result in death, particularly in patients with renal failure or problems with their kidneys.

The manufacturer whose neglect caused this crisis is based in New Jersey. Actavis Totowa LLC may be held liable for the improper manufacture of Digitek digoxin medication which can prove harmful.

Actavis Totowa initiated its own voluntary recall of its Digitek medication, but soon afterward, the Food and Drug Administration issued its own urgent Digitek digoxin recall of the oral medication, which is supposed to help patients suffering from atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (rapid heartbeats), heart failure and congestive heart failure.
