Just wondered if it is normal to take both of these medications together?
I am about to start Flecainide as Amoidarone didn't suit me, but I have read that Flecainide can react with Beta -blockers. Perhaps I should try to speak to my EP but I know this would take ages, so I thought I would contact the site in case someone could reassure me that the two together shouldn't result in further problems with AF.
Thankyou for such a great site--a great help.

Hello, I was on 5mg of bisoprolol and 200mg if Flecainide from December until last week. This was due to my AF returning at Christmas, I then had my second ablation at the end of February. On my six week review my EP reduced the amount to 2.5mg bisoprolol and 100mg Flecainide. Then hopefully in a months time all being well I can come off them both.
I have taken both these meds for a couple of years and they have reduced my episodes of AF to about a 1/10 of what I used to get. I also use Flecainide as a 'rescue' med and the AF usually resolves within 20 minutes.
I was prescribed these by a cardiac physiologist with a good trip ration, so am confident I'm taking the right stuff!
