Digitek (digoxin tablets) is a prescription heart medication. On April 28, 2008, a nationwide Digitek recall was announced for all lots of the heart medication sold in the U.S. under the Bertek and UDL labels. The recall was needed because the Digitek medication was mistakenly manufactured with double the dose that was intended. This product defect has lead to many, many serious and potentially fatal illnesses across our country. The patients who took the double doses often had their health spiral downward over the course of a few months. Many of these patients died from the toxic levels of Digitek in their systems. Many others required permanent pace-makers and other extensive treatments to attempt to recover. Individuals who suffer from renal failure are at even higher risks than most of digitalis toxicity. Some symptoms of suffering from toxic levels of digitals in the blood stream include:

• Vomiting,
• Nausea,
• Dizziness
• Rapid weight loss,
• Low blood pressure,
• Cardiac instability, and
• Bradycardia.
