Propafenone
Description
Propafenone is an antiarrhythmic medication primarily used to treat a range of irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. It works by blocking the sodium channels in the heart, slowing down the electrical signals that cause abnormal heartbeats. Propafenone is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects like dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. It‘s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if propafenone is the right treatment option for you.
