Mexitil Information:
Mexitil (generic name: Mexiletine) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of seriously irregular heartbeats, also known as atrial fibrillation. The active ingredient is Mexiletine. Mexiletine affects the way that your heart beats and helps to control irregular heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation occurs when abnormal electrical impulses suddenly start firing in the atria. These impulses override the heart's natural pacemaker, which can no longer control the rhythm of the heart. This causes you to have a highly irregular pulse rate. The cause is not fully understood, but it tends to occur in certain groups of people and may be triggered by certain situations, such as drinking excessive amounts of alcohol or smoking.
Mexitil Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Mexitil including dizziness, feeling light headed, poor coordination, dry mouth, upset stomach, heartburn, vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea, constipation, blurred vision, numbness and tingling, tremors, tinnitus, rash and depression. More serious side effects may include new or worsening irregular heartbeats, wheezing, coughing, chest pain, unusual bruising or bleeding, fever, sort throat, sore mouth and mouth ulcers. If you experience any side effects you must seek immediate medical attention for safety.
Mexitil Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it you, and there will also be dosage and information on the pack. Mexitil comes in capsule form and should be taken with a full glass of water. Do not crush, break or chew Mexitil as this may cause too much of the drug to be released at once, which may have undesirable effects. Mexitil should be stored at room temperature away from direct light and heat.
Mexitil Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Mexitil you should not take it, and should inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, including liver or kidney disease or any type of seizure disorder. You should consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications, as they may interact with Mexitil including phenytoin, reifampin, metoclopramide, cimetidine and theophylline. You should also inform you doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding as Mexitil may cause harm to your baby.
