Digitek® Medication

(800) 889-3898

Made by Actavis Totowa and distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Digitek® medication is prescribed to strengthen and stabilize heart rate. In most cases, doctors prescribe Digitek® medication to treat arrhythmias and congestive heart failure.

Unfortunately, in rare cases, Digitek® heart medication has been found to cause some severe, potentially fatal side effects, including:

• acute psychosis
• delirium
• depression
• hallucinations
• heart block
• seizures
• severe allergic reaction
• worsened arrhythmias

Due to the severity of possible Digitek® medication side effects, injured patients (and families of deceased Digitek® patients) will be entitled to compensation for their injuries via a personal injury lawsuit.

Reducing the Risk of Digitek® Side Effects

Although the only foolproof way of avoiding Digitek® side effects is to not take this medication, patients can reduce their risk by:

• Discussing their complete medical history with their doctor before starting a course of Digitek® medicine
• Being aware of the types and symptoms of possible Digitek® side effects
• Getting regular checkups while taking Digitek® heart medication (This allows your doctor to monitor your health and detect slight changes that could indicate the development of health problems)
• Seeking emergency medical care as soon as they notice they are developing serious Digitek® side effects

Patients most likely to develop Digitek® side effects include those who:

• Have a history of heart problems, kidney disease, thyroid disorder and/or electrolyte imbalance
• Take particularly high Digitek® medication dosage
• Have accidentally taken recalled Digitek® pills (On April 25, 2008, the FDA recalled Digitek® medication nationwide due to the possibility that some pills were produced with double the active ingredient)

Compensation for Digitek® Medication Side Effects

Patients injured after taking Digitek® medication should:

• Seek emergency medical attention to prevent further complications and save their lives
• Talk to their doctors about discontinuing Digitek® and finding an alternative heart medication
• Meet with a personal injury lawyer, once their health is stable, to find out if they have a case

During an initial consultation, prospective plaintiffs can learn more about the process of compiling and winning a Digitek® lawsuit. They can also get free advice about whether starting an individual case or joining an already-progressing class action Digitek® lawsuit is best for their needs and circumstances.

To encourage injured individuals 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.
