Does Tikosyn Interact With Nitroglycerin?

Good evening, I wonder if Tikosyn interacts with Nitroglycerin. I have severe arrhythmia right now and I may end up in the ER, where they usually give anyone with heart problems n itroglycerin. My other question is if, after having had three ablations, I can still be electro-cardioverted.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Tikosyn contains 'dofetilide', which is an antiarrhythmic. It works by helping the heart to regain a normal rhythm.
Tikosyn is used for treating specific types of irregular heartbeat namely atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
No adverse interactions has been note with the use of Tikosyn along with Nitroglycerin.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
