Digitek Digoxin Recall

Digitek Digoxin Recall

On or about May 2008, the drug Digitek, manufactured by Actadis Totowac, a United States manufacturing division of international pharmaceutical company Actavis, initiated a nationwide recall of Digitek (Digoxin tablets all strength) for oral use. Products are distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals under the Beatec label.

The voluntary recall was due to the fact that certain tablets were inadvertently manufactured with double the appropriate thickness, resulting in twice the approved level of the active ingredient.

Digitek is used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. The existence of double strength tablets poses a great risk of toxicity in patients with preexisting conditions of kidney or renal failure. Unfortunately, the increased toxicity causes nausea, low blood pressure, dizziness, cardiac instability, and bracycardia. Sadly, death can often result from excessive Digitek ingestion.

The Digitek pills include the Digitek 0.125MG or 0.25MG tablets.
