Cardiologist, Interventional 's  Response
COVERSYL HAS NO DIRECT ACTION ON HEART RHYTHM,HOWEVER SOMETIMES IT CAUSES RAISED POTASSIUM LEVEL IN BLOOD WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME ARRHYTHMIA. MY SUGGESTION IS GET YOUR SERUM POTASSIUM LEVEL AND IF POSSIBLE 12 LEADS ECG DURING SYMPTOMS DONE.
OTHERWISE YOU MAY BE SENSITIVE TO COVERSYL IF SO THEN YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE DRUG AFTER CONSULTING YOU PRIMARY PHYSICIAN.
