A member asked:
Which drugs are mostly recomended to start therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation. is quinidine a good chioce?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atrial fibrillation: Quinidine is only rarely used any more. We older doctors learned years ago that we killed some folks with it. There are more recent and safer drugs that we use now. Talk to your doctor to discuss if you have afib, a cloud doctor shouldn't be advising you without knowing your situation.
