What does it do?

Flecainide hydrochloride dihydrate belongs to a class of drugs used for arrhythmias that regulate the heart's rhythm. It is utilized to stabilize abnormal electrical signals in the heart and maintain a normal heartbeat. It is primarily used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias.

This ingredient works by blocking sodium channels in heart cells, which slows down the transmission speed of electrical signals. As a result, abnormal heartbeats are suppressed and normal rhythm is restored. Consequently, it regulates the irregular beats of the heart.
