Digitek® Lawyers in Jacksonville, Florida
Patients with heart failure must often depend on drugs to help them deal with issues such as poor circulation and swelling. Unfortunately for patients who used Digitek, their dependence on the drug could have contributed to severe adverse side effects. Though Digitek was recalled by the FDA in April 2008, its side effects are still being felt by some patients.
Digitek was manufactured and developed by Actavis Totowa and approved for sale in December 1999. However, in 2008 it was discovered some of the Digitek brand of digoxin tablets (and some sold under the Bertek and UDL labels) contained twice the advertised dose of digoxin. This could cause serious complications for patients, ranging from cardiac instability to dizziness, nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, and even digitalis toxicity in patients who already suffer from renal failure (kidney failure). The Digitek side effects could prove fatal.
Though the drug was recalled by the FDA in 2008, it was on the market for nearly a decade. The FDA received several reports of severe illness and injury from the double-dose tabs. The drug was taken off the market and patients were urged to return any unused portions, but patients who already suffered adverse side effects may wonder about their options for legal recourse. Fortunately, the law allows these patients to file a defective products lawsuit in civil court and attempt to prove Actavis liable for manufacturing and distributing this dangerous drug. Potential financial compensation could cover the costs of medical treatment, ongoing intervention and care, applicable physical rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and lost wages due to time spent being ill.
