About Eurythmic 200mg Tablet

Eurythmic 200mg Tablet comes from a class of drugs called 'anti-arrhythmic. Eurythmic 200mg Tablet used to treat an illness called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. This is where your heart beats unusually fast. And also treat other types of fast or uneven heartbeats known as' atrial flutter' or' atrial fibrillation'. Taking the tablets helps your heartbeat to return to normal. Eurythmic 200mg Tablet Tablets are used only when other medicines cannot be used. Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat without coordination. Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome is a condition in which an extra electrical pathway between the upper and lower chambers of the heart causes a rapid heartbeat.

Eurythmic 200mg Tablet contains 'amiodarone' that controls the heart's uneven beating (arrhythmia) or prevents irregular heartbeat. It blocks the potassium channels and reduces the impulses that cause abnormal heartbeat.  

Common side-effects of Eurythmic 200mg Tablet are blurred vision or visual halos around light. Eurythmic 200mg Tablet may affect thyroid gland function.

Consult your doctor if any of these effects persist or worsen over time.
