Digitek Lawsuits filed on behalf of Tennessee Families
Seven lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Tennessee families who were affected by the recalled drug Digitek. Digitek is the trade name for digoxin, which is used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. According to the lawsuits, five of the seven Digitek users died as a result of unintentional overdoses due to the oversized tablets. In a manufacturing error Digitek tablets were made double the thickness, thus dispensing double the dosage. When taking an excessive amount of Digitek it can cause nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes and death.
