Digitek® (generic: digoxin) tablets were recalled in April 2008 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Digitek’s manufacturer, Actavis Totowa, LLC. The Digitek digoxin tablets may have twice the correct amount of digoxin (the active ingredient) in them, putting patients at grave risk of digoxin toxicity. All dose-levels of the Digitek digoxin tablets were recalled throughout the United States.

The Risks of Recalled Digitek Digoxin Tablets
The digoxin in Digitek tablets is extremely toxic at high levels. The recalled Digitek tablets may produce the following symptoms:

  • dizziness
  • low blood pressure
  • nausea and vomiting
  • bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate)
  • tachycardia (abnormally fast heart rate)
  • other signs of cardiac instability

If you or someone you love experiences any of the above symptoms following administration of a Digitek digoxin tablet, seek medical attention immediately.
 
Digoxin Tablets for Cardiac Problems
Digitek digoxin tablets are used for treating congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and other heart conditions. Digitek digoxin tablets are prescription-only treatments, in light of the high toxicity of their active ingredient.

The Recalled Digitek Tablets
The recalled Digitek digoxin tablets were made by Actavis but distributed by two companies that labeled the tablets: UDL Laboratories (under the label “UDL”) and Mylan Pharmaceuticals (under the label “Bertek”). If you’re currently taking Digitek digoxin tablets with either type of label, contact your doctor immediately.
