Experiences with

Disopyramide

Of those of you that have been on Disopyramide , what have you been switched to and what has been your experience with in efficacy and continuity of supply? Isn't Norpace also Disopyramide? If so is that available in a modified release version?

Have had to change meds after 40years as Disopyramide unavailable. Also was taken off propranolol - it does work well for me but all information I can find about them is for once a day. Slightly confused - have only been seen by arrhythmia nurse who prescribed these.

SVT has been a life long problem for me and losing Disopyramide have had to have meds revised. Which have after trial and error have worked out well for. Any info would be much appreciated, although I know ultimately has to be my call.

I have been switched from Disopyramide to Bisoprolol because Disopyramide was out of stock. I am now in AF and while Bisoprolol seems to be constraining my Heart Rate, I have been in AF nearly all day, and it’s not great.

Disopyramide to Diltiazem- for SVT - have been taking Disopyramide for 43 years so am having concerned as one of the main side affects of Diltiazem is Palpitations which has been well controlled with Disopyramide for 40 years. Am on the list for Ablation later in the year.

I am about to switch over from the last of my Disopyramide, and start with the Bisoprolol. I am nervous about the switch, as Disopyramide is an anti-arhythmic (sodium channel blocker?) while (as I understand it) Bisoprolol is a rate control/beta blocker drug.

Can anyone give me any information as to when pharmacies will get their supply of Disopyramide- apparently they’re in UK now

Hi, I have been unable to get disopyramide for the past month, and wondered if anyone has managed to find it in stock anywhere? Has Disopyramide ceased production completely?

Picked up my prescription of 100mg capsules from Superdrug this morning.

been waiting on Disopyramide supply becoming available - does anyone have more up to date information than I have. Been told now December ! Waiting on consultant appointment to decide alternative of which there doesn’t seem to be one. Am managing my supply at the moment but won’t last forever.

Although I have a short supply left of Disopyramide to treat SVT cardiologist has suggested that if I run out they will try me on Diltiazem. Has anyone else been diverted to this medication for same problem? Having looked into it I have concerns. I have an appointment coming up to see them.

Still taking Disopyramide, but this seems to be less effective at rate control than it has been previously. No Caffeine, no alcohol, so no obvious triggers. Anyone else experienced this?

Cardiologist suggested medication Disopyramide 250mgs twice a day has anyone used this ? He said if this doesn’t work then Flecainide

Hey Hearties,Not for the first time, over the last couple of years, has my pharmacist been unable to dispense my prescription for the above medication. Obviously I am not alone on this. Having conducted some primary research, the reasons for the UK and beyond, are multifactorial, but of course the usual

My meds/supplements include: 100mcg levo, 10mcg liothyronine (which i might increase to 15 mcg), vit b12/folate lozenge), vit D/k2 spray, glucosamine/chondroitin, calcium), new heart meds (disopyramide/nebivolol) and the cancer meds.

Hi is anybody having trouble getting disopyramide?

At the end of March I started some new heart pills (disopyramide). So I started taking a new medication that seemed to be effective because it has very strong anticholinergic effects against the vagus nerve and is the medication recommended for vagal-type atrial fibrillation).

I have always felt I had Vagal AF as my AF occurs in bed, my HR is quite low and spent my life doing endurance sports and always flip back into Sinus following vigorous exercise My EP suggested we try Disopyramide I have now been in Sinus Rhythm for over a month the longest period since discontinuing

Hi I’m going to be starting disopyramide just wondering if anyone is on disopyramide and how do you get on with it Thanks
