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.

What To Do Right After An Accident?

Having an accident can be a very stressful situation whether you are injured or not. However, there are a few things you can do right after an accident to make the ordeal a little less stressful. First, at the scene get as much information as you can about the other party. Get the driver’s name, address, phone number and license plate number. If there are any witnesses that saw the accident and come to check on you, get the witness’s name, address and phone number. Many times witnesses leave before the police arrive. However, if you have this information you can give it to the police officer and she/he can follow-up with the witness if there is a dispute as to what happened in the accident.
