Thank

Flecainide 50 mgm twice daily has been used to prevent recurrences of paroxysmal AF. Potent drug. Important to be followed or supervised by cardiologist. Cholesterol of 160 within "normal" range but just the cholesterol number without other components of the lipid profile is not very helpful. I assume your doctor has discussed this with you in detail.

Recent Paroxysmal Afib diagnosis. Currently take Flecainide 50 mg Bid , Coreg 12.5 Bid and Losartan 50. Paxlovid has flecainide listed as a contradiction. Does this mean that that if I get Covid Paxlovid is not an option for me?
