Digoxin tablets, sold under the name Digitek, are used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms in patients. Recently some of the tablets were found to contain twice the amount of active ingredient. Digoxin overdose can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, cardiac instability, bradycardia and death. Mylan Pharmaceutical has recalled the product in response to several reports of illness and injury from patients taking Digitek. For more information about this recall visit: http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/2008/safety08.htm#Digitek

If you have experienced adverse side effects as a result of taking this product, you should contact an attorney immediately to discuss your legal rights.
