Digitek Digoxin Digitalis Lawyer

Digitek (digoxin) is a medication given to patients suffering from heart problems. Typically, these patients suffer from heart failure or irregular heart beats.

The active ingredient in Digitek, digoxin, allows the heart to beat at a stronger, more normal, rate. When consumed in excess digoxin results in serious side effects including slowed heartbeat and low blood pressure, vision problems, irregular heartbeats, seizures, hallucinations, and more. Taking too much digoxin (Digitek) may also result in digitalis toxicity.

Digitalis toxicity is a condition which occurs when too much digoxin is built up in the body. Digitalis toxicity results in the patient feeling extremely ill and can be fatal.

Patients suffering from heart problems may also have other conditions, including kidney disorders. Kidney problems and other medications, such as diuretics, interact with digoxin and may result in digitalis toxicity at a quicker rate.

Recalled Digitek (digoxin) tablets contain a double dose of digoxin which may result in the above serious side effects and/or digitalis toxicity if consumed.
