hi - I started Dofetilide 500mcg BID in April, then reduced to 375 in July and 250 in Sept - it's working well for me, too!

Great!! At one point my cardio switched me from 250 to 500mcg (not sure why) and I immediately had a severe rash on my hands. Looking into it, that's one side effect of too large a dose so I went back to 250mcg. Seems to be the right dosage!

Are there long term risks with this med?
Do you experience any side affects from it? Assuming you still have to take eloquis or some blood thinner?
