Many patients who were prescribed the heart medication Digitek have suffered heavy and possibly perilous complications as a result of manufacturing defects with the drug. As a result of these Digitek side effects cases, the drug's maker requested a nationwide Digitek recall on April 25, 2008.
Digitek is a sort of the heart medicine digitalis ; it's also known generically as digoxin. Digitek and other digoxin drugs operate by skyrocketing the amount of calcium in the heart to bolster the heart beat. Digitek is prescribed to treat people with an unsteady pulse or congestive heart failure.
According to a public relations release issued at the time of the recall, some tabs of the drug were badly made at twice their normal thickness. As a consequence, some patients were getting a double dose of the drug, which could cause heavy Digitek side effects as a result of a digoxin o.d..
In the most heavy situations, patients who have experienced a digoxin o.d. may have a cardiac arrest, stroke or, doubtless, death. Some of the other Digitek side effects suffered by patients include low blood pressure, an unstable pulse, passing out, confusion, nausea, vomiting or other symptoms.
Some patients who had a Digitek o.d. have recently made contact with a attorney about filing a Digitek lawsuit. These patients have claimed that defectively made Digitek tabs put patients at an raised possibility of a digoxin o.d. and major and potentially threatening Digitek side effects.
If you or a loved one have been hurt as a result of a Digitek o.d., you may with to communicate with a Digitek barrister about filing a lawsuit. Your injuries may result in a financial compensation.
