ETHEX Corporation is recalling one lot of 60 mg morphine sulfate tablets due to a risk of overdose. The tablets were manufactured with double the dose of morphine sulfate that is on the label, which could cause serious adverse reactions.

The lot affected by the recall is number 91762. No additional lots are being recalled.

The morphine tablets were released between April 15 and April 27, 2008. They are under the ETHEX label.

As with all opioid medication, the consequences of an overdose can be fatal. An overdose of morphine may result in difficulty breathing and lowered blood pressure.

To this date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not received any reports of adverse side effects.

Defective drug attorneys are working to help prevent serious consequences of faulty prescription medication by holding drug manufactures responsible for their negligence.

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.

It was announced last week that Actavis Totowa LLC is recalling all lots of Digitek. A spokesperson for the company said that 11 reports of serious illness have been linked with Digitek. The spokesperson said that the company is not aware of any deaths in relation to the recall.

Digitek is a prescription medication used to treat abnormal heart rhythms and heart failure.

Tests of Digitek show that the reported illnesses may be caused by overdose. Some tablets of the drug might are thought to contain at least twice the FDA approved dose of the active ingredient.

All lots of the prescription drug are being recalled. Digitek is distributed under the “Bertek” label by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. It is also distributed under a “UDL” label by UDL Laboratories Inc.

Defective drug attorneys are working on cases in which serious illness has resulted due to the negligence of drug companies.
