TAMBOCOR  (FLECAINIDE ACETATE):  This medication is used to treat certain types of serious (possibly fatal) irregular heartbeat (such as persistent ventricular tachycardia and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia). It is used to restore normal heart rhythm and maintain a regular, steady heartbeat. It is also used to prevent certain types of irregular heartbeat from returning (such as atrial fibrillation). Flecainide is known as an anti-arrhythmic drug. It works by blocking certain electrical signals in the heart that can cause an irregular heartbeat. Treating an irregular heartbeat can decrease the risk for blood clots, and this effect can reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke. Older adults should discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with their doctor or pharmacist, as well as other effective and possibly safer treatments.   FDA Approval Date: 1985-10-31 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Arrythmia None I have been taking this for about 10 years now. I have tried several others and the side effects for all the others was very nasty. I have no known side effects and could function without it. Its been a life saver for me. M 40 10 years

 1  Atrial Fibrillation after RF Ablati Approximately 2 hours after being given three (3) tablets orally while in a recovery area following an RF Ablation Procedure, and experiencing Atrial Fibrillation (procedure didn't fix it), I experienced a 23 second cardiac arrest. My heart restarted in sinus rhythm on its own. Noone told me there was any danger in taking the drug. I'll never take it again. M 73 1 days

 1  ARRHYTHMIA Head Tremors, more forceful arrhythmias, and lack of energy. Just wondered if anyone has noticed any head tremors after taking Flecanide (Tambocor). I have jerky head movements from the base of my neck. I never had it before starting the medication for PAT. I have gone through several brain MRIs and they show nothing that could cause the tremors. My arrhythmia seems worse after changing from Inderal, that I had been on for 25 years, to Flecanide along with Veramapil. The more forceful irregular heart beat interferes with my sleep, and I am tired all the time. F 59 18 months
