Recall Notice of Digitek Tablets

RECALL NOTICE
DIGITEK TABLETS RECALLED
On April 25, 2008, Actavis Totowa LLC issued a nationwide recall of all Digitek® (digoxin tablets). Digitek® is manufactured by Actavis Totowa, and distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. under a "Bertek" label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under a "UDL" label. Digitek® is used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms. The tablets may be double the appropriate thickness and contain twice the approved level of the active ingredient.
The defective Digitek® tablets contain double the approved dosage of digoxin, the active ingredient. In patients with kidney/renal failure, this increases the risk of developing digitalis toxicity. Digitalis toxicity may cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, cardiac instability, heart arrhythmia, bradycardia, and death.
Recalled Medications Include:
· Digitek
· Digoxin
· Cardoxin
· Lanoxin
· Lanoxicaps
