What is Multaq? 

Multaq (dronedarone) is prescribed in people who have a history of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation but are now in good condition. Multaq belongs to the class III of antiarrhythmic drugs that helps keep a normal heartbeat rhythm to lower the chance of getting to the hospital for having atrial fibrillation again.

Dronedarone works directly to the heart’s tissues to slow down the nerve impulses to keep the heart rhythm on a regular phase. It specifically blocks the potassium channels (which play a big part in electrical activities in the heart) to slow down the electrical activity in the heart to help keep rhythm stays normal and prevent it from turning to atrial fibrillation again. 

Multaq Dosing 

Multaq 400 mg is prescribed to be taken twice a day with a meal, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is best to take it regularly daily at the same time of the day to help attain benefits.

Do not take two tablets to catch up for the missed dose. Do not change or stop taking Multaq without your doctor’s advice. Grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice should be avoided while taking Multaq. It can increase the risks of side effects and increase the levels of dronedarone in the body.
