Digitek® Class Action Lawsuits

(800) 889-3898

A Digitek® class action lawsuit is a case in which multiple plaintiffs with similar injuries bring a single case against the drug's maker and distributor, Actavis Totowa and Mylan Pharmaceuticals.

Injuries that have formed the basis of Digitek® class action lawsuits include (but aren't limited to):

• acute psychosis
• arrhythmias (including bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, irregular heartbeat, etc.)
• death
• depression
• hallucinations
• heart block
• seizures
• severe allergic reactions

Patients, who have endured such injuries as well as families of deceased Digitek® patients, are likely eligible to join a Digitek® class action lawsuit.

FDA Recalls Digitek® in 2008

While any Digitek® patient is at risk of developing the above side effects, those who take high doses of this medication, as well as patients who took recalled pills, have the highest risk of experiencing health complications.

On April 25, 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a nationwide Class I Digitek® recall due to the fact that some pills had been produced with double the drug's active ingredient.

Class I FDA recalls, the most serious level of drug recalls, highlight a medication's potential to cause serious injury and/or death.

Despite this alert, however, patients are continuing to develop injuries after using the recalled Digitek® drug, as some of these pills may still be in circulation.

Meeting with Digitek® Class Action Lawyers

Immediately after developing Digitek® drug side effects, it's vital that injured patients:

• Seek emergency medical treatment to save their lives
• Talk to their doctor about possible alternatives to Digitek® medication
• Follow through with all long-term prescribed care
• Meet with a Digitek® lawyer to find out if they are entitled to compensation for their injuries

During an initial, free consultation, prospective plaintiffs can:

• Learn more about the process of building and winning Digitek® lawsuits
• Get estimates of possible settlements based on past cases similar to their own
• Decide whether they want to file an individual claim or join an already-progressing Digitek® class action suit

Those best suited for Digitek® class action lawsuits will be plaintiffs who:

• have sustained treatable, less serious Digitek® injuries
• may not want to be deeply involved in the legal process
• want more predictable outcomes for the amount of their settlement.

Resulting Digitek® settlements typically include compensation for plaintiffs':

• emotional suffering
• hospital bills
• lost wages
• ongoing treatment costs
• permanent disabilities
• physical suffering
