Dronedarone Aristo

[Oscar61]

hi everyone

I’ve now officially been diagnosed with AF after any episodes caught on my Apple Watch.

I’ve given Dronedarone Arista to try and was wondering people thoughts on this drug and any side effects or whether it works

Thank you in advance

I've been on dronedarone for 6 week's now. Still getting weekly episodes lasting around 18 hours. As I've said previous take with a decent meal. Your backside will thank you.

I am not familiar with the Arista name but I have been on Multaq since the beginning except for the trial of amiodarone in the very beginning yuck. I thought Multaq was great I never felt anything bad from it the problem with it is if your heart is not in rhythm it does you no good. I have been off and on it since April. They can’t get my heart into rhythm. I hope you have good luck like I did with Multitech I was taking that and Metropolol t. No problems with that either and I am on another version of it now. Best of luck

what metoprolol are u taking? Dr gave me Metropolol to USA as needed. 25 mg

I had been on metropolol tartrate but my new cardiologist switched to metropolol succrate XR I am on it three times a day along with digoxin and my Xarelto. The metropolol I was helping but it was almost as though it wore off too fast which is why he put me on the third dose mid day.

on Multaq 9 months now. Does not stop my AF but shortens the length of the episode considerably. Stops me from having blackouts after conversion to NSR which is why I am on it. Best of luck.

hi, ive been taking dronederone approx 2-3 years now, along with low dose bisoprolol , both calm my now weekly episodes down somewhat ,no side effects so far that i can tell.

Hi, I was put on dronedarone post successful cardioversion on 12 th October and so far ( v early days ) I am still in NSR . I was on it for approximately a year previously following ablation but it stopped working after 12 months and I went back into persistent AF. I found it tolerable though , with minimal side effects except diarrhoea and stomach cramps when first started on the drug .
