Digitek Recall

April 29, 2008

Actavis Totowa LLC is recalling all lots of the prescription drug Digitek, used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms, because some of the drug’s tablets might contain twice the approved level of the active ingredient.

Spokesman John LaRocca said 11 people have reported getting sick after taking the drug, but the Morristown, N.J., company is not aware of any deaths. The drug was distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. under a “Bertek” label and by UDL Laboratories Inc. under a “UDL” label.

    My husband has been taking Digitek for 4 yrs and was admitted to hospital for heart transplant and getting worse as days go by. I wonder if this has anything to do with his condition?

Got something to say?
