Can Nortriptyline HCL And Flecainide Acetate Be Taken Together?
Can I take nortriptyline HCL , which I have used for 10 or more years for neuropathy in my feet,with Flecaniade acetate which I started taking about 3 to 4 years for a missed heartbeat, without a drug interaction? I am an 83 yr. old female in otherwise good health.

Hi, thanks for your question.
I'm very glad to help you with your concerns.
Flecainide with nortriptyline used together has a risk of significant interactions and should not be used except if advised and closely monitored by your doctor
The combination has a tendency to cause a very dangerous abnormal heart rhythm which may be fatal, if doses are not well controlled.
Please review my considerations with your doctor.
I hope i answered your questions.
Warm regards.
