About Jollimex-50 Capsule

Jollimex-50 Capsule belongs to a class of medicines called antiarrhythmics used to treat life-threatening arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) such as ventricular arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition in which your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow.

Jollimex-50 Capsule contains Mexiletine, which works by reducing the sensitivity of heart muscle cells to electrical impulses. Thus, it slows down electrical conduction in the heart muscle. Thereby, it helps to restore regular heart rhythm.
