Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Flecainide Acetate And Metoprolol Be Taken Regularly After Accidental Overdosage?
I take flecainide acetate 50 mg one and half tablets twice a day along with metoprolol succer 25 mg three times a day also Eliquest 50 mg twice a day and lisinopril 10 mg twice a day. I take my medicine at 8 oclock in the morning and evening .But Monday, I took this medicine at the regular time ,but accidently took it again at twelve o clock that night. I called the Poison center and the nurse wanted me to go to the hospital but I did so they calling periodically for me to check my blood pressure and make sure I did not go into a- fib which I did not,and recommend I not take the Flecainide and metoprolol on Tuesday morning, but take the rest of my medicine. Now I m not sure if I took the medicine Tuesday evening but to make sure I did not overdose again, I skipped the dose.Will it be okay to begin taking my regular schedule medicine at 8 o clock on Wednesday? I have been taking Flecainide for over a year and the other medicine about two years. I feel fine this morning waiting for 8 oclock to take my regular scheduled medicine again.
Its ok to take medicine frown Wednesday morning as per your schedule. you need not worry for one time overdose in Monday. the extra medicine has been flushed out of your body and you can resume normal medicine as before.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
