A member asked:
Can someone consume alcohol while taking flecainide meds?

No: Alcohol can irritate the heart and cause extra beats so it's not a good idea.

No: Why do I always think anybody who is asking "can i drink" is generally somebody who is drinking too much? Flecainide is prescribed for cardiac arrhythmias, and alcohol can itself cause cardiac arrhythmias, or worsen pre-existing ones, as well as interacting with the many medications used to treat it. Does your prescribing doc know you drink, and you should discuss it with him/her.
