"I've been on Rythmol for atrial fibrillation for about 6 months. Initially, it wasn't working too well. I'd be in rhythm for a few days and go out for a day or more. After a few months of this, I asked my cardiologist if he could suggest another anti-arrhythmia drug, but he suggested we give Rythmol more time. He increased my dosage gradually until I was taking the maximum dose, two 150 mg tablets 3 times a day. I have been in rhythm for over two months now, and I never had any side effects, so I am very satisfied at this point."

"I have taken Rythmol for about 6 months now in combination with Xarelto. I absolutely HATE taken any meds at all! I was having to go to the ER and hospitalized several times before I started on it for afib and high BP. That is fairly controlled now which I am thankful for. The biggest side effects I see are drying of skin especially feet, arms, hands, extreme constipation like my gut feels paralyzed no matter what I eat and sometimes drop in BP especially after meals and first thing in the morning. I want to get OFF the meds but am afraid to, don't know how, and cannot get doctor's approval for that so far."

"The combo of atenolol in the morning and 1 propafenone at bedtime has stopped my atrial fibrillation in its tracks!"

"Rythmol caused my blood pressure and pulse to drop dangerously low. I was admitted to the hospital for two days."

"Have had atrial fibrillation for 25 years. Tried a number of medicines and was on amiodarone for a few years but had to stop. Decided to give Rythmol a try, and have used it for more than 15 years. Have not had a noticeable attack of atrial fibrillation for many years, although I did land in emergency for another arrhythmia last year. This has been a lifesaver for me. Supply is getting to be an issue though."
