Nicholas Chandler, a 23-year-old resident of Alabama, died after consuming Digitek (Digozin) on Jan. 9, 2009. His doctor prescribed Digitek (Digozin) in order to correct his heart condition that could not be corrected by other medications. Chandler suffered toxicity after taking the medication.

Chandler’s wife Barbara Chandler deems the defendants negligent because Digitek was distributed to the public with twice the amount of the active ingredient, according to the West Virginia Record.

The paper reports, “Digitek (Digozin) has a narrow therapeutic index and has a limited margin between effectiveness and toxicity. Chandler, as administratix of the estate is seeking judgment, jointly and severly, (sic.) from all defendants, pre and post judgment interest and costs.”
