| In April this year, the manufacturers of a brand of digoxin called Digitek recalled this product. They found it may have contained twice the amount of digoxin in each tablet. By taking the affected product consumers could have serious health problems or even die. There were two doses that were involved: 0.125 mg (yellow tablets imprinted with a “B” and “145”) and 0.25 mg (round white tablets imprinted with a “B” and “146”).
If you are using DIGOXIN tablets, check your bottle to make sure you don't have Digitek tablets that were recalled last spring. If you have not previously checked and if your tablets are made by Actavis, Mylan, Bertek or UDL, you should return them to your pharmacy to examine and possibly exchange. If you are not sure who has made your tablets, please take your bottle to your pharmacist for them to check as soon as possible. |
