Comment:
After taking Rythmol for years for Afib the Doctor stopped it because it was no longer effective. Instead I tried Multaq. But it did not help. In fact my fatigue, shortness of breath and ankle swelling got worse. Even with Cardioversion my heart is still in Afib. Since have already tried most of the rythym control drugs, I may have to consider ablation though I am hesitant to do so.

Comment:
Been on Multaq for 1 year. I have not had a recurrence of a-fib so it has worked. You have to eat a meal when you take this drug, so that is an inconvenience & makes it harder to take.

Comment:
Has been effective in preventing intermittent A-Fib and tachycardia due to atrial flutter when taken in combination with a low dose of Metroprolol. Replaces Flecanaide/Metoprolol which quit working after about a year. I have had to cut statin dose in half, don't know how that will affect serum cholesterol. Only side effect has been a metallic taste in mouth between meals.

Had side effects in the beginning now hardly notice. Does increase hunger pangs. Have to watch or will gain weight. But do not know what I will do when my money runs out very, very, very expensive.

Comment:
No drug is perfect but this drug gave me my life back. I have a mechanical heart valve and also have AFIB. Prior to having an ablation and taking this drug I had lost quality of life. Although I often have fatigue I am still able to work, exercise and live my life.
