Digitek Double Dose Digoxin Tablet
Recall
Actavis Totowa LLC notified healthcare
professionals of a Class I nationwide recall of all strengths of
Digitek, a drug used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart
rhythms. The products are distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals
Inc., under a “Bertek” label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under
a “UDL” label. The product is being recalled due to the
possibility that tablets with double the appropriate thickness
may contain twice the approved level of active ingredient. The
existence of double strength tablets poses a risk of digitalis
toxicity in patents with renal failure. Digitalis toxicity can
cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, cardiac
instability and bradycardia. Several reports of illnesses and
injuries have been reported. Patients should contact their
healthcare professional with questions.
If you were injured by an incorrectly sized
Digitek tablet,
please feel free to e-mail your questions about the heart
failure drug.
