Digitek® Lawyer

(800) 889-3898

Digitek® lawyers are personal injury attorney who specialize in winning settlements for those injured after taking Digitek® (digoxin), a drug used in the treatment of arrhythmias and congestive heart failure.

Produced by Actavis Totowa and marketed by GlaxoSmithKline, Digitek® has been found to cause a number of severe health problems, including:

• acute psychosis
• depression
• delirium
• hallucinations
• heart blocks
• severe allergic reactions
• worsened arrhythmias (which can make heartbeats faster, slower or irregular)

Without treatment, some of these Digitek® drug side effects can be fatal.

Symptoms of Digitek® Drug Side Effects

It's vital that Digitek® patients are aware of the types and symptoms of possible side effects so they know when to seek help. Possible symptoms can include:

• bizarre thoughts or behaviors
• black, bloody stool
• blurry or yellowed vision
• breathing difficulties
• changes in heart rate
• confusion
• dizziness or weakness
• facial and/or tongue swelling
• hallucinations
• hives.

As soon as Digitek® patients develop any combination of the above symptoms, they should seek emergency medical care.

FDA Recalls Digitek® in 2008

On April 25, 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Class I recall of Digitek® after it was discovered that some tablets may have been produced with double doses of the active ingredient. Taking double doses of Digitek® increases the severity and likelihood of developing Digitek® side effects.

Class I FDA recalls are the most serious level of recalls, as they indicate that a drug has the potential of causing severe injury and/or fatality.

Following this recall, Digitek® lawyers in various states (including Illinois, Oregon, California, etc.) began compiling class-action lawsuits to help injured Digitek® patients (and families of deceased Digitek® patients) recover compensation for their injuries and losses.

What to Do Following Digitek® Side Effects

Individuals who start to develop the symptoms of Digitek® side effects should:

• Seek emergency medical care to prevent further complications and save their lives
• Discontinue use of Digitek® and consult their doctor to find a suitable alternative heart medication
• Set up an initial consultation with a Digitek® attorney to find out if they are entitled to compensation

To persuade injured Digitek® patients to stand up for their legal rights, Digitek® lawyers offer these consultations for free and will delay payment for their services until a settlement is won.

In most cases, a Digitek® lawyer can help affected individuals win compensation for their losses including:

• funeral and burial costs
• hospital bills
• lost wages
• ongoing treatment costs (when permanent physical injury has been sustained)
• pain and suffering
• permanent inability to work
