Q: Has anyone experienced Digitalis Toxicity caused by Digitek?

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!

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:
