FDA Issues Safety Alert on Digitek Digoxin

The products are distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., under a “Bertek” label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under a “UDL” label.

The product is being recalled due to the possibility that tablets with double the appropriate thickness may contain twice the approved level of active ingredient.

The existence of double strength tablets poses a risk of digitalis toxicity in patents with renal failure. With double the prescribed amount of digoxin, the active ingredient in Digitek can cause a risk of digitalis toxicity in patients being treated for renal (kidney) failure. This Digitek overdosage can be fatal. Those Digitek users suffering from renal failure are at risk of Digitek digitalis toxtcity because they cannot excrete digitalis from their bodies like healthy people.

Symptoms of Digitalis Toxicity include: Nausea, Confusion, Seizures, Vomiting, Hallucinations, Vision problems, Dizziness, Low blood pressure, Irregular heartbeats, Abnormally fast heartbeats & Slow heartbeat and Death. Several reports of illnesses and injuries have been reported.
