Has anyone been treated for arhythmia while being on Calquence - Acalabrutinib to avoid going to ER?

Hi unairdefamille,

I did a search for previous postings that mention Propafenone

but only found this one: healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

-

and this cautionary document on medlineplus.gov/druginfo/me...

Propafenone may also cause life-threatening irregular heartbeat and increase the risk of death in certain patients. Tell your doctor if you have had a heart attack within the past two years or if you have heart disease.

Because of the risks of taking propafenone, it should be used only to treat life-threatening irregular heartbeat. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking propafenone.

i quit Ibrutinib because of a fib, and they said I am not eligible to be on any btk's because of cardiac issues, so am on Venetoclax. You probably need to be off of it if it's giving you arrhythmia.

Thanks, Narl. How are you faring on Venetoclax? Any side effects. How long have you been on it?
