How does Pacerone work? What will Pacerone do for me?
Pacerone belongs to the family of medications known as antiarrhythmics. It is used to treat certain types of abnormal heart rhythms. It works by making the heart beat more regularly. The effects of Pacerone may be noted as early as three days after starting treatment, but it is usually one to three weeks before beneficial effects are seen.
Your doctor may choose to use Pacerone for other conditions. If you're unsure why you are taking Pacerone, contact your doctor.
How should I use Pacerone?
The recommended adult starting dose of Pacerone is usually from 800 mg to 1600 mg daily for one to three weeks in divided doses. The dose is eventually reduced to 200 mg to 400 mg daily as prescribed by your doctor and according to circumstances. Pacerone may be taken with or without meals, but should be taken in the same manner each day.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is very important that Pacerone be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue on with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
