What would be wrong with taking Flecainide, like most of us do?

Hi

Amiodrone has many significant side effects! Search on this forum for amiodrone. There are alternatives which might be suitable, worth talking to your consultant.

All the best

I was offered long term amiodorone but reduced it. Cardioveraions dont work and no ablation. I've been on a host of other media for the last 8 years and doing ok.
