Tambocor Reviews

Show: for
seems to be keeping the heart in a good rhythm
Working / Worked
My son takes this 3x per day
low dosage 50 mg happy with results
Flecainide 100mg twice daily was added after I wore a 30 day event monitor for one day! Its just a cooincidence that it showed up one day after I started wearing it but hey I didnt have to wear it again after that! LOL. It was clear that I now need rhythm control on top of the rate control. I havent felt my heart at all!....well until I lay down. Especially on my left side. But its just NSR. It no longer sets off my heart into AFib! Yay!
Working / Worked
better than sotalol ...well for me anyways
The only drug that seems to make a difference lately Ive been directed to double dosage to 100mg daily.
Worked perfectly until recently
Reduced episodes from once every 2 to 3 days to 3 breakthrough episodes in the last year. No problem with side effects.
Working / Worked
Worked great initially as scheduled med then quit and used only prn. Had blood clots in lungs and once cleared to use again and am using it scheduled and it is working a little better but still times not working at all
Working / Worked
Yes,for the most part the Tambocor did work with some blurred vision (just a couple times and only for a few minutes).
