MULTAQ  (DRONEDARONE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used if you have had certain types of irregular heartbeat (paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation) in the past but now have a normal heart rhythm. It helps you keep a normal heart rhythm and lowers your chance of having to go to the hospital for atrial fibrillation. Dronedarone is known as an antiarrhythmic drug. This medication should not be used if you have permanent atrial fibrillation because of the increased risk of very serious side effects. See also Warning section.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2009-07-01

 4  AFib, Following Tikosyn & others No apparent side effects. Directions to take with food likely due to solubility (oil vs water)because drug uptake considerably greater (15% with food vs. 5% without. #'s are my recall from med insert small print details)I get breakthrough af episodes about monthly, lasting about a day. In the interim, I experience short lived arrhythmia every few days, lasting a couple minutes to an hour. M 69 5 months

 5  atrial fibrillation slight stomach discomfort if not taken with a meal I was previously on Rythmol for 2 1/2 yrs, was changed to Multaq because of breakthrough a-fib, fatigue and a general "drugged" feeling. Cardiologist told me Multaq has less side effects. The Multaq makes me much less tired. I still have occasional VERY brief runs of the a-fib, and can sometimes get dizzy if I get up too fast. I like Multaq better than Rythmol.I'm giving it a 5 because I feel that less side effects are a good thing, and even though I still get the rare brief breakthrough, this med has helped me quite a bit. F 59 4 months
