Tower, I understand your comment on testing. When my mother was admitted (thru emergency) she was diagnosed with digoxin toxicity. They tried to reverse it using medications but her major organs (kidneys and heart) stopped working resulting in respirtory failure. I have heard,also, that the medical records need to identify digoxin toxicity at the hospital. Hopefully, everyone who was harmed will receive the justice that is demanded.

My Aunt died April 2009. My cousin opened the recall letter from Rite Aid Pharmacy saying that my Aunt was receiving double doses of Digitek. It was too late. My aunt had died one week earlier. She had every symptom listed. She went to her doctor and he sent her home. My aunt was very stubborn about taking medication, she didn’t trust it, but her family talked her into taking this one and unfortunately she listened to them. I remember her telling me only a week before her death that she wasn’t ready to die, she wanted to be here for spring, to work out in her yard and watch the flowers bloom. She loved life. Unfortunately, her son who is the executor of the estate and doesn’t want to pursue a law suit. I believe my aunt would want her kids to file a lawsuit, she was a fighter. In my opinion, this drug company murdered her. They should pay and I hope they go out of business.

to all of you,

i wish not to sound disheartning, but i must ask you all. did you have a digoxen levels test done at the time of your loss? i have recently learned that the companies requested proof of overdose and if you can not provide the test or a doctor to say that the digitek is what caused your loss….well then the company is gonna get away with it. the test is done through blood work, and the cardio doctor would be the one to order it. i believe however that even though most of us do not have this test, if we all stick together we will get the justice we are looking for….

My mother passed on Oct. 17,2007 from digoxin toxicity. She had used this drug for over 6 years. We have filed in the state of Michigan and will be entering the MDL in WV. You can monitor the MDL by logging onto their website (MDL NO.1968 is the case number). I hope that justice is served for the many that have been injuried or have died because of this drug manufactures production problems and lack of quality controls.

my mother developed Digitek toxicity. We never received anything from the doctors or pharmacy. After she was taken off Digitek, she had to have a pacemaker installed. She continued to go downhill for another 9 months. She had to have AV Node Ablation. A few weeks later she had a massive stroke. We then had to make the decision to remove life support. One week later, she passed away on September 11, 2008. Before the Digitek toxicity she had a NORMAL ECG. She kept the bottle of Digitek. The attorneys are waiting for testing protocol to have the pills tested. I too would like updates on the status of the lawsuit. I wait a few months and contact the attorneys office. They do respond, but monthly updates would be nice.

My husband took this medication for several months. Shortly after taking it, he started visiting the ER for almost all of the symptoms listed. No one could tell us what caused them. His last visit to the hospital, he was told it was not his heart that brought him in, but they needed to run test for answers. Four days later, he called me on Easter Sunday morning to see if I was his Easter bunny? Three hours later he was GONE! SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PAY!!

To D. Hall

If the company is claiming to have held all double dose pills, then why did the company issue a National Class I recall?
I think this is all idle talk or gossip. I think people who were injured have them by the tail! There are too many law suits already filed in Federal Court in WV for people not to have been injured. I think these trial lawyers know what they are doing.
