What does it do?

Flecainide acetate is an antiarrhythmic agent that belongs to the class of medications that regulate heart rhythm. It is primarily used to stabilize abnormal electrical signals in the heart, helping to maintain a normal heart rate. This ingredient aids in alleviating arrhythmic symptoms in patients with heart diseases.

Flecainide acetate works by blocking sodium channels in cardiac cells, thereby slowing the conduction speed of electrical signals. As a result, abnormal heartbeats are reduced, and the heart's rhythm is maintained normally. Consequently, arrhythmic symptoms are alleviated.
