Digitek Digoxin Recall

Digitek, generic name Digoxin, is a heart medication previously prescribed to patients with congestive heart failure, certain types of irregular heartbeat, and other heart problems. It improves the strength and efficiency of the heart, which leads to better circulation of blood and reduction of the uncomfortable swelling that is common in people with congestive heart failure.

In an April 28, 2008 MedWatch Safety Alert about Digitek brand Digoxin tablets, the FDA informed doctors and patients that this prescription medication was the subject of a recent nationwide Class I recall because of the possibility that some tablets contain twice the Digoxin as approved by the FDA. The potentially dangerous tablets were produced as a result of a manufacturing error and as a result the recall covers all strengths of Digitek.

According to the FDA MedWatch Safety Alert, the recalled Digitek was distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., under a “Bertek” label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under a “UDL” label. Additionally the Safety Alert explained that the existence of double strength tablets poses a risk of digitalis toxicity in patents with renal failure and additionally can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, cardiac instability and bradycardia.
