Hello, I would like to know if anyone has experienced something called "Digitalis Toxicity" which is caused by Digitek?  I think I may be dealing with this because since I was taken off of Digitek - it was pulled off the market by the FDA because of a problem with too much of the active ingredient - I have experienced 3 out of the 5 main symptoms:

 

  • low blood pressure
  • dizziness
  • lightheaded

There are a couple of other symptoms - vomiting and nausea - that thank God I have not experienced.  I saw a commercial on TV recently and went to the website and filled out an online form to see if I may potentially have a case against the manufacturer for this. 

 

Thanks - I'll be very interested to see if anyone else has had these same experiences!

Hello pjalford,

 

Im not sure if you will find this helpful or just more of the same information you already know, but here is a link that fully explains digitalis toxicity.

perhaps the 'free case evaluation' was helpful...

 

I wish you the best!

My step-father became very ill after taking Digitek.  We've been in contact with an attorney which we found throught this link:
