How long does it take for Rythmol to work?

Propafenone begins to act soon after the first dose, with improvements in heart rhythm seen within hours. However, its long-term effectiveness depends on consistent daily use.

Does propafenone affect blood pressure?

Propafenone can occasionally lower blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting. Blood pressure should be monitored during treatment, especially in patients with heart disease.

How does Rytmonorm help atrial fibrillation?

It helps restore normal heart rhythm by blocking sodium channels in the heart cells, preventing erratic electrical activity that causes atrial fibrillation.

Can Profex prevent stroke?

Profex controls rhythm but does not directly prevent stroke. Patients with atrial fibrillation may also need anticoagulants to reduce stroke risk.

Is propafenone used for ventricular arrhythmias?

Yes, propafenone is prescribed for certain life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, but only under close monitoring, as it can sometimes worsen arrhythmias in high-risk patients.

What are Class IC antiarrhythmic drugs?

They are medications that strongly block sodium channels in heart cells, slowing conduction and stabilizing heart rhythm. Propafenone and flecainide are common examples.

Do Class IC antiarrhythmics cure arrhythmias?

No, they manage arrhythmias by controlling rhythm but do not cure the underlying condition. Ongoing treatment and monitoring are required for effectiveness and safety.

Rythmol / Profex / Rytmonorm (generic name: propafenone) is a prescription medicine used to treat serious heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and certain types of ventricular arrhythmias. Propafenone belongs to the class of medicines known as Class IC antiarrhythmics. Propafenone works by slowing the electrical signals in the heart that cause abnormal rhythms. This stabilizes the heartbeat, helping it return to and remain in a normal sinus rhythm. It can reduce palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fainting associated with arrhythmias. Propafenone is not used for every patient with arrhythmias. It is reserved for those with specific conditions, as its use requires careful monitoring. Treatment is usually long-term. More information is available at MedlinePlus.

Usual dosage

It is important to follow the dosage instructions printed on the label of the box. For most adults, the recommended starting dose is 150 mg every 8 hours (three times daily). The dose may be gradually increased under medical supervision to 225–300 mg every 8 hours, depending on the condition and patient response. In some cases, a sustained-release version is prescribed, typically 225–425 mg every 12 hours. Propafenone should be taken with food to reduce stomach upset. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Do not double dose to make up for a missed dose. Dosage adjustments may be necessary for patients with liver or kidney impairment, or when other heart medications are being used. Important: continue treatment exactly as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, as stopping suddenly can worsen arrhythmias.

Standard storage

Store the tablets at 20-25 °C (68-77 °F), with allowable variation between 15-30 °C (59-86 °F). Keep away from moisture, heat, and direct light. Store in the original container with the lid tightly closed. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date, which refers to the last day of the month shown on the package.

The information leaflet that comes with the medication includes full information about possible side effects. Be sure to read and understand these, and if there are any questions, discuss them with a healthcare provider.

If a sudden allergic reaction occurs after taking Rytmonorm, such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing; hives; or severe rash, seek emergency care immediately.

Propafenone should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if clearly needed and prescribed by a healthcare provider. The risks and benefits must be weighed carefully before use.

Most patients tolerate Rythmol / Profex / Rytmonorm without serious issues, but side effects can occur. Common side effects include:

Dizziness
Taste disturbances (metallic taste)
Nausea
Vomiting
Constipation
Tiredness.

Less common but serious effects may include worsening arrhythmias, chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting. Any severe or persistent symptoms should be promptly reported to a healthcare provider.

Propafenone is prescribed for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, irregular rhythms in the upper chambers of the heart that can cause palpitations, weakness, and shortness of breath.

It is also used for ventricular arrhythmias, which are irregular rhythms in the lower chambers that can be dangerous and lead to fainting, chest pain, or cardiac arrest. By restoring a steady heart rhythm, propafenone helps reduce these symptoms and the risk of complications. It is typically used in patients who do not have severe structural heart disease, as safety must be carefully considered.

Propafenone begins to act soon after the first dose, with improvements in heart rhythm seen within hours. However, its long-term effectiveness depends on consistent daily use.
