Disopyramide (Disopyramide) is an antiarrhythmic drug used to treat cardiac arrhythmias. It regulates heart rhythm by prolonging the depolarization period of heart cells and slowing the heart rate. Disopyramide is used to treat ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias, such as premature ventricular contractions and ventricular tachycardia. In Hong Kong, Disopyramide is usually prescribed by a doctor and needs to be used correctly according to medical advice. Patients with arrhythmias should pay close attention to their heartbeats while taking Disopyramide and receive regular monitoring from their doctor. Possible side effects include hypotension, worsening of cardiac arrhythmias, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Patients should avoid drinking alcohol while taking Disopyramide and follow their doctor's recommendations to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.
How to use: The drug Disopyramide usually needs to be taken at a fixed time every day. It is recommended to take it after a meal to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. While taking this medicine, you should avoid eating grapefruit or its related products as it may affect the effectiveness of the medicine. Also, avoid activities that require a high level of alertness, such as operating machinery or driving a vehicle.
Dosing Guidelines: For adult patients, the recommended starting dose is 100 mg to 150 mg daily, divided into 2 to 3 times daily. Physicians may adjust the dose based on patient tolerance and efficacy, but generally do not exceed 400 mg per day. For pediatric patients, the dosage is usually based on weight and age, and it is recommended to determine the correct dosage under the guidance of a physician. In any case, patients should strictly follow the physician's recommendations when using the medication and should not adjust the dosage or stop using it on their own.
Disopyramide is a drug used to treat cardiac arrhythmias, but it has some side effects to be aware of. Some people may experience digestive system problems such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea after taking it. In addition, heart-related side effects such as bradycardia, palpitations, hypotension, and even cardiac arrest may occur. Some patients may also experience skin sensitivity, rash or allergic reaction. If any of the above symptoms occur, you should stop taking the medication immediately and consult your doctor.
