Digitek® Lawsuits

(800) 889-3898

Digitek® lawsuits seek compensation for those injured after taking Digitek® (generically known as digoxin), a medication prescribed to treat arrhythmias and congestive heart failure. Digitek® is currently produced, marketed and distributed by Actavis Totowa, GlaxoSmithKline and Mylan Pharmaceuticals.

Despite being effective at strengthening and regularizing heartbeat, Digitek® has been found to cause a variety of serious, potentially life-threatening side effects, including:

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

Patients who develop any of these complications will likely be entitled to Digitek® settlements to compensate them for their injuries.

Digitek® drug side effects are most likely to affect those with a history of:

• electrolyte imbalances

• Understand the types and symptoms of serious Digitek® side effects
• Seek emergency medical care as soon as they start developing the symptoms of Digitek® side effects
