AMIPACE 100MG TABLET comes from a class of drugs called ‘anti-arrhythmic. AMIPACE 100MG TABLET used to treat an illness called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. This is where your heart beats unusually fast. And also treat other types of fast or uneven heartbeats known as” atrial flutter” or” atrial fibrillation”. Taking the tablets helps your heartbeat to return to normal. AMIPACE 100MG TABLET Tablets are used only when other medicines cannot be used. Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat without coordination. Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome is a condition in which an extra electrical pathway between the upper and lower chambers of the heart causes a rapid heartbeat.
Amipace 100 Tablet works by blocking abnormal electrical signals in the heart. This helps control the uneven beating of your heart and helps it to beat normally. This medicine thus prevents serious health problems that can sometimes be fatal and reduces your risk of death.
