Uses

Propafenone Hydrochloride Tablets USP are indicated to:

• prolong the time to recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (PAF) associated with disabling symptoms in patients without structural heart disease. • prolong the time to recurrence of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) associated with disabling symptoms in patients without structural heart disease. • treat documented ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia that, in the judgment of the physician, are life-threatening. Initiate treatment in the hospital.

Usage Considerations:

• The use of Propafenone Hydrochloride Tablets USP in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) or in patients exclusively with atrial flutter or PSVT has not been evaluated. Do not use Propafenone Hydrochloride Tablets USP to control ventricular rate during AF. • Some patients with atrial flutter treated with propafenone have developed 1:1 conduction, producing an increase in ventricular rate. Concomitant treatment with drugs that increase the functional atrioventricular (AV) nodal refractory period is recommended. • The use of Propafenone Hydrochloride Tablets USP in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation has not been evaluated. • Because of the proarrhythmic effects of Propafenone Hydrochloride Tablets USP, its use with lesser ventricular arrhythmias is not recommended, even if patients are symptomatic, and any use of the drug should be reserved for patients in whom, in the opinion of the physician, the potential benefits outweigh the risks. • The effect of propafenone on mortality has not been determined [see Boxed Warning].
