Digitek Alert
Digitek can cause serious and fatal reactions in some users.
Digitek, manufactured by Actavis Totowa, is used to strengthen
the force of a heartbeat by increasing the amount of calcium in
the heart's cells. Digitek is also used to control irregular
heart rhythms.
In April 2008, Actavis Totowa recalled all units of Digitek. The
FDA, after receiving several reports of illnesses and injuries
in patients taking Digitek, stated the defect could expose users
to twice the amount of active ingredient, which could cause
serious and even fatal “digitoxicity” reactions.
