Reviews for Flecainide to treat Ventricular Tachycardia
| Review by Anonymous: | User Rating: | ||||
flecainide: I have been taking a combination of medicines flecainide (50mg twice a day) and metoprolol (12.5mg twice a day) to control idiopathic paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, for two months now. Trying both medicines separately did not work for me. During the first two weeks of starting flecainide, I experienced moderate to severe side effects including visual disturbances (mostly peripheral), shakiness, vertigo, weakness, nausea, fatigue, and bowel changes. Since my body had a difficult time with the medicine, both medications were reduced in half. It is much better now, but I am still hoping this is not a long-term treatment. I give this medicine a 10 rating for effectiveness. I have not had a single episode (including PVCs) since being on both medications.
