This will depend on why you are being prescribed it. And you and all other meds. Go to drugs.com and read all about it and then discuss risks and benefits of using it for what you have with your Drs.

Usually, if someone is taking this medication, it's for a specific purpose. It's best to review the underlying medical condition, as well as one's experience taking the medication, with one's doctor. The physical exam and history, and sometimes an EKG, will clarify the drug's effect, thereby helping provide the answer concerning whether or not a change of medication is indicated.
