Description:
MULTAQ is a prescription medicine used to lower the chance you would need to go into the hospital for heart problems. It is meant for people who have had an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter (AFlutter) in the last 6 months, but who may currently have a regular heart rhythm or will have medical treatment to return to a regular rhythm. MULTAQ may be safely used by people who have had AFib and AFlutter who also have other conditions such as high blood pressure, stroke, or diabetes.
Cautions:
Do not take MULTAQ if you have severe heart failure or if you have been recently been in the hospital for heart failure, even if you are better now. People with severe heart failure who take MULTAQ have an increased chance of dying.
