John Anthony Conte of Madison County, Kentucky, filed a Digitek lawsuit against a West Virginia pharmaceutical company, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, for his wife’s estate. His wife is believed to have died after taking Digitek. This suit was filed on October 9, 2008.Conte’s late wife, Scottye Conte, had a heart condition and was prescribed Digitek to correct this problem. According to the suit, Scottye Conte died on October 12, 2007 as a result of ingesting this medication.

According to the West Virginia Record, the suit claims, “Digitek contains twice the approved level of active ingredient and a narrow therapeutic index, which means the medication has a limited margin between effectiveness and toxicity.”

Digitek has a negative history.  Since 2006, 11 or more complaints have been recorded about the dangerous side effects of the drug, which include injuries and diseases.

At this time, Digitek is the only heart medication that is supposed to correct atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and heart failure. Instead of correcting these problems, Digitek has unfortunately lead some consumers to their deaths and has also affected numerous loved ones in the process.

Being filled with mental agony and grief are just a few ways John Anthony Conte has suffered in losing his wife to Digitek ingestion. Though John Anthony Conte seeks compensatory and punitive damages for his wife’s estate, his wife cannot be replaced.
