Digitek Becomes Scarce Following Recall
The generic drug maker, Actavis Totowa LLC, recently recalled all lots of the prescription drug Digitek. It was discovered that some of the Digitek pills contained twice the approved dose of the main ingredient, which could cause serious adverse reactions and overdose.
The symptoms of a Digitek overdose include:
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Low-blood pressure
• Fatality
Digitek is a heart medication that is used to treat congestive heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. Actavis is a major manufacturer of the drug. Although other companies do have small quantities, the recall has affected supplies of the drug.
Pharmacists have been advised to ration the available supplies of Digitek in order to provide the necessary prescriptions. Adverse reactions to Digitek should be reported to the Food and Drug Administration.
Defective drug attorneys are working on cases that involve the serious injuries that result from faulty prescription medication.
