Digitek Recall Prompts Lawyers to Review Potential Claims

The drug Digitek, used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms, has been recalled. According to a press release from the US Food and Drug Administration, the voluntary nationwide recall was initiated after reports surfaced that patients taking Digitek were suffering from serious illness, injuries and death.

The recall is linked to the distribution of double strength tablets which could lead to digitalis toxicity in patients with renal failure, as well as other serious side effects.

If you or someone you know has suffered from a Digitek related injury or death, you should contact an experienced injury lawyer in order to have your potential claim reviewed.
