Have Atrial Flutter After Taking Tikosyn. Does Exercising Have An Effect?
Hi is there an exercise effect when taking Tikosyn.. My induction QTc was ~508 ms. After one month on the medicine, I have reverted to atrial flutter and my QTc is ~450 ms. Initially I felt better having a normal heartbeat, and started exercising again. Could that have increased the elimination of Tikosyn from my system?

Hi,
I read your query and would like to say that exercising has little or no effect on the elimination of tikosyn.
I strongly suggest that you youse very carefully this drug and always keep in touch with your cardiologist to avoid unnecessary complication (including ventricular arrhythmia and death)
