About dronedarone

Dronedarone is prescribed for people with an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF). AF happens when the normal controlling timer in the heart (that causes it to beat regularly) is overridden. This causes parts of the heart to beat very rapidly, and other parts to beat haphazardly. A treatment called cardioversion is a way of converting the irregular rhythm back to a normal regular rhythm. Dronedarone is prescribed to maintain the regular heart rhythm after cardioversion. It will be prescribed by a specialist doctor.

Before taking dronedarone

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking dronedarone it is important that your doctor knows:

• यदि आप गर्भवती हैं, बच्चे की योजना बना रही हैं, या स्तनपान करवा रही हैं।.

• यदि आपके जिगर के काम करने के तरीके में या आपके गुर्दों के काम करने के तरीके में कोई समस्या है।.

• If you have any other heart conditions.

• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine. It is particularly important that you tell your doctor if you have taken a medicine called amiodarone and had problems with your breathing as a result. Also let your doctor know if you are taking anticoagulant medicines like apixaban or rivaroxaban.

• यदि आप कोई अन्य दवाएं ले रहे हैं। इसमें वे सभी दवाएं शामिल हैं जो आप बिना पर्ची के खरीद सकते हैं, साथ ही हर्बल और पूरक दवाएं भी शामिल हैं।.

How to take dronedarone tablets

• Before you start this treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside your pack. The manufacturer's leaflet will give you more information about dronedarone and a full list of side-effects which you may experience from taking it.

• Take dronedarone exactly as your doctor tells you to. It is usually taken twice daily, the first dose in the morning during breakfast and the second dose during the evening meal. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water.

• If you forget to take a dose, take it (with something to eat) as soon as you remember. If when you remember, it is nearly time for your next dose then leave out the missed dose and take your next dose when it is due. Do not take two doses together to make up for a forgotten dose.

• Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check your heart rhythm and monitor your progress. Your doctor will also want to do some blood tests while you are on dronedarone to check your liver function.

• Do not drink grapefruit juice while you are on dronedarone. This is because a chemical in grapefruit juice increases the amount of dronedarone in your bloodstream and increases the risk of side-effects.

• Treatment with dronedarone can be long-term. You should continue to take the tablets unless you are advised otherwise.

• If you are having an operation or dental treatment, tell the person carrying out the treatment that you are taking dronedarone.

• If you buy any medicines, always check with a pharmacist that they are suitable to take with dronedarone. This is because a number of medicines can interfere with dronedarone.
