@shebattine Yes....but....if they prescribed a drug that killed even 4% of its patients they'd have the FDA, the Law, and every person who died would have an estate lawyer who would sue the bejaysus out of the pharma company. So, yes, every drug has its unfortunate cases, and ethically and legally the company must disclose even the rarest of adverse events, but we're talking less than 0.5% of all cases, much less even. The drug is safe for the huge, bloated, majority of users. The drugs you need to worry about are Rhythmol (amiodarone) and Tikosyn, both of which require heavy monitoring for toxicity and/or a three day hospital stay while they start you on it (Tikosyn). But, both are still on the market, being prescribed, and literally thousands are taking it......today! So, flecainide is a safe and effective drug. Some find they can't 'stomach' it, or it does weird things, even makes their arrhythmia demonstrably worse. If that happens, try another drug.

@shebattine I am taking Eliquis 5mg twice a day is been ok about a year. Careful with falling hitting your head with any blood thinners. I took Pradaxa and Flecinide it hurt my stomach really bad it was terrible but some people are ok with it. Listen to your body Pray about it make sure you have peace.
Ask questions to your doctor. Blessings
