Nationally Recognized Healthcare Attorney Archie Lamb Establishes Digitek® Database
Friday May 16, 2008: Birmingham, Alabama: Healthcare attorney Archie Lamb of the Lamb Firm, LLC in Birmingham, Alabama announced an investigation of injuries and the facts surrounding the recall of the heart medication DIGITEK®. The nationally distributed drug was manufactured by Actavis Totowa LLC, a United States manufacturing division of the international generic pharmaceutical company Actavis Group.
The company initiated a Class 1 nationwide recall of Digitek® (digoxin tablets, USP, all strengths) for oral use. The products are distributed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. under a “Bertek” label and by UDL Laboratories, Inc. under a “UDL” label. The voluntary all-lot recall is due to the possibility that tablets with double the appropriate thickness may have been commercially released.
“Our initial investigation indicates that many people have suffered injuries associated with this drug” noted Lamb. “We anticipate litigation on behalf of many of the injured individuals based on the results of our on-going investigation. Unfortunately, our database of injured individuals continues to grow” he concluded.
Additional background information is available from the Contacts noted above and at www.ditigekrecall.org.
