Digitek (digoxin) tablets were recalled on April 25, 2008 by the FDA due to a manufacturers defect which allowed tablets to be produced with twice the approved amount of the active ingredient (digoxin). Digoxin is a medication given to those suffering from heart failure or heart arrythmias, and allows the heart to beat at a stronger, more normal, rate.
Digitek (digoxin) tablets are manufactured b Actavis Totowa and distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Digitek (digoxin) tablets are also sold under the labels UDL or Bertek. Recalled Digitek (digoxin) tablets appear larger and thicker in size due to the double dose of digoxin found in them.
The double dose of digoxin found in Digitek tablets may result in digitalis toxicity. Digitalis toxicity occurs when digoxin accumulates in high levels in the body and may result in death.
