About Pradil 150 Tablet 10's

Pradil 150 Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines called anti-arrhythmic agents used to treat irregular heartbeats. Irregular heartbeat is a condition in which your heart beats irregularly, too fast or too slow. Pradil 150 Tablet 10's helps slow the heart rate and prevent arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). It is prescribed for patients with ventricular arrhythmias, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, or flutter.

Pradil 150 Tablet 10's works on the heart muscle directly and increases the force with which the heart muscle contracts with each heartbeat. Therefore, it makes the heart efficient in pumping blood around the body and slows the heartbeat rate.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Arrhythmias: Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) is a condition in which your heart beats abnormally, too fast, or too slow. Symptoms of irregular heartbeat include chest pain, shortness of breath, and fast or slow heartbeat. 60 to 100 beats per minute is generally considered a normal heart rate. Pulse indicates your heart rate or the number of times your heart beats in a minute. Normally, the pulse rate increases when you exercise and is slower when you are at rest. Tachycardia means when the heart beats faster than normal, and bradycardia is when the heart beats too slowly. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia, which causes an irregular and fast heartbeat. Your doctor may run certain tests to diagnose if you have an arrhythmia. Treatment to restore a normal heart rhythm may include medicines like Pradil 150 Tablet 10's, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), a pacemaker, or surgery.
