Overdosing on Digitek (digoxin), including though the use of the recalled double-strength tablets, can cause a condition known as digitalis toxicity, which exhibits symptoms including:

  • Visual changes, changes in color perception - yellow-green distortion is most common, but red, brown, blue, and white also occur; halos, bright spots, blind spots, blurred vision
  • Palpitations
  • Irregular pulse, bradycardia (slow heart rate below 60 bpm)
  • Dizziness, loss of consciousness
  • Low blood pressure
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea/ vomiting
  • Decreased urine output
  • Excessive nighttime urination
  • Cold sweats
  • Difficulty breathing when lying down
  • Death

    Digitek was recently recalled after medication was found to contain twice the appropriate level of the active ingredient.

    Digitek is a medication that is widely used in the treatment of various heart conditions, namely atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and sometimes heart failure that cannot be controlled by other medication.

    Because patients prescribed Digitek are already under a physician’s care for heart troubles, an incorrect dosage of this medication can be especially dangerous, creating even more cardiac instability and compounding existing problems.Digitalis toxicity is a complication of digitalis therapy, or it may be caused by an acute ingestion of Digitek.
