Comment:
Tikosyn kept me out of AF for 10 years UNTIL I was given Zofran in an ER for nausea/vomiting. The Tikosyn and Zofran interacted causing a fatal heart arrhythmia. To make to story short, I experienced a Cardiac Arrest!! I would still be on Tikosyn today if the interaction would not have happened.

Comment:
I've had A-Fib with and without the Tikosyn medicine. I've been told the medicine reduces my risk of another. I was feeling more than the ususal side effects and discontinued the medicine on my own. I had A-Fib again, and resumed the medicine again by my MD again. I don't know if it was that effective being while I was on the medicine I had A-Fib. Time will now tell again.
