Flecainide and verapamil

[Rhianne1902]

Hi. I have Ventricular tachycardia and had a ICD fitted in July. Put on 50mg flecainide 3x a day. Still having PVC's (ectopics) so they are changing my meds to 50mg flecainide x2 a day and adding verapamil. I'm worried that I will get more VT episodes. Anyone on these combinations of drugs for VT?

Thanks

I take flecanide 100mg twice a day and verapamil twice a day and have done for over 5 years I have had two ablations but still have af episodes but heart rate never more than 140bmp and only when I'm in a lot of pain, think inflammation causes it. I have Lupus

I’m on this combination! No sustained VT since verapimil was added!

hi, I had an ICD fitted in 2019 for multifocal PVCs I was started off on Verapamil initially but that did not help in anyway, I was eventually started off on 10MG a day Nebivolol with 100mg a day of Flecainide which worked for a while but the PVCs slowly came back so I ended up taking 100mg of Flecainide every 8 hours which thankfully worked for me, otherwise next step would of been an ablation

how are you getting on? I’m on the same drugs they keep sustained VTs at bay but little ones still get through x
