Digitek recall letters being sent by pharmacies
Following last weeks Digitek recall, people are receiving phone calls and pharmacy letters notifying them that their heart drug may be unsafe. All lots of the Digitek, a generic form of digoxin, were removed from shelves after it was discovered that some tablets could contain twice the appropriate amount of the active drug. This could increase the risk of digitalis toxicity, a serious and potentially fatal illness. In an unusual move, pharmacists are being required to attempt to notify all customers who filled a prescription.

Digitek Recall due to risk of Digitalis Toxicity
Last week Actavis Totowa announced a nationwide Digitek recall due to manufacturing defects which caused some of the digoxin tablets to contain double the appropriate amount of active ingredients. This could lead to a substantial risk of a serious and potentially fatal illness, known as digitalis toxicity, especially among those with renal failure. The lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are reviewing potential Digitek recall lawsuits throughout the United States.
