Is it true that the anti-arrhythmia drug Tambocor has been discontinued? If so, does anyone know why, and is there a suitable alternative? Generic substitutes do not seem to work as well.

Tambocor is a brand name for Flecainide. Flecainide is is readily available although maybe not in a specific brand. Might be worth a word with your pharmacist.
